Devastation and new Life

In this Corona times I sometimes feel devastated. 
A positive outlook is blurred by lack of perspective. 
Left alone by the lack of touch and connection I don't know where this all goes and at the same time have to follow sometimes irrational rules and regulations.

Today I did review old images on my PC and came across a series which I took over the years in Baviaanskloof, Hout Bay.

In the summer 2014-2015 Baviaanskloof experienced a very devastating veld fire. 



 The heat had cracked rocks and melted glass.


The devastation was blowing my mind.

But only a few weeks later the life force was breaking through the darkness.


Nature does not give up.


A disaster is cleansing and makes space for new life.


A few months later Baviaanskloof was back to new life.



It is not the same old, rather it has been rejuvenated with new life.




I can trust in the creative force of life.
 I am not lost.
 I know that there will be new life again.
