Around the campfire
 All the non-hunters and hunters around the campfire preparing brunch. "Guess what I have for you guys!" Surprise on the faces! Not believing? Are you joking? "Check Phumbina on the back" "Well done" More hugs and kisses. Gee this is great, never been hugged and kissed so much in all my life. Photographs felt like a movie star with 4 cameras on me. Wow, now I think I can breathe. Now I can relax. She did not suffer. Great, pat on my own shoulder. Relax and breathe. Auntie Martie asking if I do not feel like crying like she did the first time she took an animal. "No, I thought, as a matter of fact, I don't, maybe clinical, maybe adrenaline, maybe something else? Who knows?" I feel great.
Looking at My Star that evening, feeling a bit intoxicated, I thought to myself: "How lucky can one person be to have such a perfect life?" I do not have any material riches, work myself to half to death most of the time, but it all is rewarded at the end of the day with moments like these.
There is balance, there is harmony, and we are at one with what we should be, …even though I have to live in the city, well for now that is, anyway.
All South Africa's gold cannot buy such special times and precious moments. Soppy and sentimental, maybe, who cares, I am a woman after all...
