My experience of playing the didgeridoo for the big cats at Out of
Africa Wildlife Park was one of the most profound events of my life and
its richness will last forever. The response that these animals had
to my playing came from the pure instinctual core of their being, with
no sifting through intellect as with humans. I believe that the "Animal
Spirit" (AN-IM-ALL SPIRIT) is an access code to the Eternal. The
use of circular breathing in playing the didgeridoo produces uninterrupted
sound, reflecting the endless nature of Eternity. My experience with
these majestic cats spanned about five hours, yet in my Soul it was from
the beginningless beginning to the endless end. My experience included
an additional dozen or so big cats not shown in these photos (more lions,
tigers, white tigers, leopards and a few cougars). I am grateful
to Dean and Prayeri Harrison, the owners of the park, for honoring me to
come in and play for the animals. I am also grateful to Astara for
taking these photos. |
