Into the Unknown
Just as Piu Piu chose her path into the Unknown, this month of September 2014 will lead me to new horizons! I thought the picture of the brand-new ‘boomslang’ that snakes through a magnificent canopy of luscious trees and strelitzias in Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, at times offering magnificent free vistas across the city, illustrates this thought and the emotions that go with it, in a perfect way! Yay! And spring is here with sunshine, blossoms and butterflies – my favourite time of the year!
Children love this lofty path as it swings adventurously, depending on how many people are passing at any given moment in time… so that’s the way I’ll take it, too – excited to have come to this point after so much work (and still going), but curious, expectantly, and open to all good things that certainly are waiting… at the other end of the… boomslang!
Piu Piu, the Novel
Piu Piu, the Novel, targets the Young Adult market where it will most probably be classified as Adventure Fiction. Which doesn’t mean it’s not for adults with a love for Nature and interested in a deeper sense of being – because it is… especially if young, wild and open at heart!
And believe it or not: Piu Piu still comes to visit us every day, sometimes alone to just follow me when I walk through the garden, but in the late afternoons he brings his wife, Poline, along. Too sweet for words…
So much to learn from Nature and animals, the big balancers and masters of the path of least resistance…
