Beautiful essay Nic. Wonderful use of 'showing instead of telling'. Especially loved this line "Nicola rested her head on Justin’s shoulder ahead of me, and I thought about these subtle, yet important indications of health". Hope to carry this important lesson with me and pay more attention to the every day wonders around me.
Thanks so much, John. I really appreciate this very kind feedback. Writing online has been one of those things that has helped me pay attention to the little important details that make our days special — thanks for nudging me to enrol in Write of Passage!
This is beautiful. I love this concept of signals that indicate a healthy or happy system. Got me thinking about my life and what the small indicators of health are in relationships, work, myself.

Wonderful memories of a special week in beautiful Madikwe, Nic! Thank you 😍
Thanks so much, Jane. It was the most special week and we talk about it often. I hope that you, Colin and the rest of the Rodrigues clan are so well.
