"Crossing the Serengeti"

Every year the incredible Wildebeest migration crossing the Serengeti's treacherous Mara River is a spectacle in which to behold. An enormous amount of zebras and gazelles accompany the Wildebeest on this biannual pilgrimage as they migrate in search of optimum grazing in the form of rain ripened grass and drinking water to accommodate the size of the migrating participants into Kenya's Masai Mara.

If you have ever watched it unfold, you can FEEL the enormity of the migration and can appreciate the magnitude of the determination of the animals to take this journey, irrespective of the anonymous predators along the way that are patiently lying in wait for their suspecting, not unsuspecting, prey. But they forge ahead anyway, for what awaits them is not as important as the journey that they need to take, the one in which they shall make despite what is hidden along the path.

The things that we stand to learn once we tune in to something that can actually educate us, thus adding value to our equation, identity and composition.

The willingness to understand that the journey that we all travel upon may not be physically located in the Serengeti, but the things that await us are never more important than the journey itself.

The predators are actually not so anonymous, due to the rather simple fact that the prey already suspects their presence in the midst, to begin with.

But in order to get to what has already been purposed for you, sometimes we have to travel through our own versions of the Mara River, in our own personal Serengeti, to our very own Masai Mara.

Tuned in to our pilgrimage, whatever awaits us along our journey is designed to reach us where we are and to teach us where we need to be.

You do not need to become a predator in order to prevent falling prey. You just need to outwit your predator and live to see another day.

Something that I learned as I tuned in to witness Life, as it was "Crossing the Serengeti."
