Harnas - Looking Back Now





WHAT I MISS MOST...

1. The lions roaring at night and early in the morning
2. Frikkie saying "I'm telling you now.." (big Afrikaans accent)
3. Frikkie (teaching us how to work with lions) "He will kill you, but you will learn"
4. Goeters purring like a diesel enjin
5. The morning walk to the farm and walk back at sunset

6. Putting on a beanie and headlight torch at 19:15pm and climbing into my sleeping bag
7. Audrey holding my hand
8. Sana holding on to me and giving hugs
9. Sneaking back to the farm during siesta to lie with Goeters


10. Malcolm saying hi when you first go into his enclosure
11. Marieta shouting at the bushmen in Afrikaans
12. The coldrink and cookies we got at our afternoon meetings
13. The massive amount of sprinklers on the farm lawn spraying recycled water... nice
14. Sir Roger holding on to Brollox the dog whilst drinking his bottle

15. A good warm shower at night
16. The meerkats chasing each other
17. Zippy the lion dog playing with the lion brothers


18. Frikkie says "Give yourself and all your sad experiences to the animals, and this place will heal you"
19. Frikkie says "Even when you feel your life is falling apart, think of yourself as a shiny mirror that's broken, each part still shines on its own"
20. Every day brings new opportunities
