A Memorable Journey
As the winter holidays began at school, the children decided that this time they wanted to visit the mountainous regions to witness the snowfall. After much persuasion, they managed to convince their parents to agree to the trip. Their father said, “I will get the train tickets tomorrow,” but unfortunately, the tickets were unavailable. In the end, their father arranged the journey by car instead. With all the necessary supplies packed, the children, Hassan and Maryam, along with their mother and father, set off on their adventure.

a new year for the trees
The snow allows me to go where I usually can’t in good conscience. Someone has already made a path here, so I follow the deep footfalls cast by snow. Still, I don’t touch sand and keep mindful of slick surfaces as I wind the path past the iced over marsh and back up the dunes to the copse of maritime pine stark against the bright white and pale, sleeping grass. A muted green yet green nonetheless among the hibernating things.

Under the Quiet Sky
Under the Quiet Sky The city wakes before the sun, breathing smoke, horns, and hurried footsteps. From the fourth floor of an aging apartment, Ayman watches the morning unfold like a restless tide. He is a delivery rider, a job built on speed, yet his own life moves slowly, measured by prayers whispered between traffic lights and thoughts carried across bridges. People notice his green jacket, not his eyes. They see the package, not the person holding it.

Cape buffalo.
I live in Zimbabwe, on my thousand acre ranch which has been in my family for generations, starting with my pioneer ancestor who came here in 1890 when Rhodesia was founded. Actually, I don’t use all thousand acres as a cattle ranch, but the land is so beautiful and raw, with acacia trees and the occasional baobab tree and Mukwa trees, teeming with antelope, giraffe, wildebeest, warthog, zebra, even lion and the occasional elephant traveling through, that I treasure it as a game reserve. It is about 50 miles outside Bulawayo, my hometown, past the airport along the Lonely Road where my grandfather had a dairy farm in the 1930’s and where my mother was born. In the high veld, temperate weather, not too hot, not cold. My ranch hands and their families live on the ranch, Ndebele tribesmen, hardworking, cheerful, knowledgeable in tracking and animal husbandry.
