Queleas: What Whole Do You Form Part of?

 

The inundation of red-billed queleas at Londolozi Game Reserve has had everyone asking questions. Not just the scientific kind along the lines of, “Where did they come from?” but also the esoteric. What moves us when we watch these spectacles is the understanding that somewhere at our very essence we are like them. We were born to move and work together as a whole, whilst staying deeply connected to ourselves and the natural world around us. As each individual becomes truly aligned with themselves, so then does the entire group. As we give ourselves to that whole, we regain our sense of belonging. Then as a collective we begin to create magical, mesmerizing patterns of our own.
