Nature’s films about the Kalahari and Okavango Delta inspire my writings as a poet and a lover of nature’s beauty and magic. I marvel at the incredible number of life forms that surround us. How could anyone with a curious mind be despondent, downhearted or depressed. Thank you for this great gift, this great reminder that we are all stewards of this grand chain-of-life-that-links-us-one to-another. Your films are works of art.

Since I was a child, I have always been intrigued and fascinated by the wildlife on the African continent. Until October of 2008, I only saw these great places and animals only on television, but it became a reality when I went to the Kalahari and what a humbling experience it was. I can’t wait until I make it back down there to see more of the wildlife with my own eyes. It has always been a goal in my life and I actually got to experience it. I am definitely looking forward to my next trip, which I think I am going to the Kalahari Desert again. I hope to make it back in July of 2010. I love watching these programs and keep up the good work.
