“The journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step.”
Lao Tzu
The first trip on my eleven year odyssey was to Kenya in
1995. I witnessed the Great Wildebeest Migration that
travels from Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park into
Kenya’s Masai Mara Reserve. I was on safari while in the
midst of ending a particular chapter in my life. I was
on the verge of a rebirth which I call “New Beginnings.”
The last trip, and a reaffirmation of the first, was to
Gabon in 2006. I spent several weeks hiking in remote
jungles that a National Geographic Explorer (Michael
Fay) called The Last Place On Earth. I was there while
on a two week recess of a trial which spanned six
months. It was the
last of my solo efforts, which I call “This Is The End”.
