Man(imal) in the Forest


Only Cape Town can go from winter straight into summer. This morning at 7h00 it was already 20 degrees warm. The trees are exploding with green.

Yesterday I was involved with the “Kindergartenfest” in the school which I work for part time. Pleasing and helping, totally the nice guy. I was exhausted. This morning I felt the (m)animal coming out. I had to move my body and rushed up the mountain. At the pool I took a bath.
Naked I sat on a rock splashing myself with water and feeling it running over my skin. I let the sun dry me, feeling the coolness and every drop. Drinking from the stream like an animal. Alive and wild - a man(imal).
After 30 minutes being a man(nimal) I just managed to quickly put my shorts on as some other hikers came up the stream. The air was so warm I continued my walk just in shorts still feeling alive.
The forest was very much alive as well. Birds and bumble bees making a noise and even the old dassie was enjoying the sun.
