Tranquility
Finding moments of peace and calm in today’s fast-paced, frenetic world is becoming ever rarer and more precious. After a week in the wilderness, I realise it is not only about being in and around nature, although that certainly helps. Tranquility is about tuning into a different experience of time – slowing down time, reconnecting to nature’s rhythms, watching the passage of dawn-to-day and dusk-to-night. As I write these words, the sun has just set, bats are darting across the paling sky, hippos have emerged from the water to begin their night’s grazing and crickets are in glorious choral voice.
