Leisurely hovering side-by-side a big Napoleon Wrasse in Micronesia, its slowly rotating eye following my every move while silently enquiring “Who are you biped? Should I be worried about you?”…
Feeling the wingtip of a Manta Ray, brushing against me light as a feather, while the giant creature continues sailing over my head as gracefully and unconcerned as the starship Enterprise heading towards galaxies far far away…
Having eye contact for just a moment with a curious fruit bat, its long eyelids blinking at me whilst the furry creature munches on a juicy piece of mango…
Snuggling with my cat, seeing his trust in me, his eyes contentedly closing half-way as he presses his little vibrating body as close to my wobbly belly as possible…
Inviting a backpacker into our home, sharing a beer and learning a bit about each other’s life…
An evening in a quiet bar, where conversations have a chance to flourish and we discover characters and stories we’ll never forget for the remainder of our lives…
The blooming smile of a stranger on the bus after work when she sees me carrying a tiny pot of purple flowers home to my wife…
Every time our existence intersects with another, no matter how insignificant or brief a moment it might be, we are given a chance to be inspired, learn, and grow.
It’s life at its very best.
