South Africa raised me. This trip reminded me why.
Rhinos chewing sticks like it’s nothing. A giraffe running full speed like gravity is optional. Elephants leaning on each other because that’s just what family does. A lion walking past like he owns the place, because he does.
I sat in that truck at golden hour and felt something I haven’t felt in years. Not peace exactly. More like recognition. Like the land knew me before I left it.
You can build a whole life somewhere else and still carry the dust of where you started.
Home doesn’t leave you. You just forget to visit it sometimes.
