In Monduli...
During the daytime, clucking chickens, singing birds, braying donkeys and barking dogs would create an interesting symphony of sounds. Sometimes heard in the distance were children playing - singing and laughing and hammers thumping. All pleasant to listen to.
Always lovely to get away from cars and city sounds!
The night sky was awash with bright brilliant stars. Without much electrical light coming from the township, the familiar 'Milky way', Southern Cross and 'Saucepan' (Orion's belt) were very clear. I loved going outside and looking up to the endless heavens, feeling small and rather insignificant. It also made me so aware of how we are all on this tiny planet together - seeing the same night sky that we in Australia see. It's a weird feeling. Connecting all humanity together. And yet, we are 'worlds' apart in our lives, experiences, expectations and perspectives.
