Let give our reverence to the magnificent wildlife and of course the mother nature which given us the treasure that we couldn’t thank enough. Could you ever pictures what life could be if there is no creature beside human? Oh, that would be the death of our kind. There’s so many lives exist that we couldn’t ever imagine.
Beside all the creatures we’ve been notice and known, there’s also many lives unknown out there. Beyond the triumph sounds of machines, the clatter of thousands shoes hit the marble ground, and the shining light of the city from a massive building, there’s a unpretentious silence in the other side of the world where the sand become the bed of the king and queen and his cub, and all his flock – sleeping peacefully. With the dark sky and all the stars become their little lamp lit the night. The two sides of the world that exist whether you notice it or not.
There so much excitement to learning the existence of another life and try to blend together with it – comprehend it with our complicated mind. Blend together for one more time with the mother nature just like our ancestor – side by side with all the wild animal, that used to be part of human kind daily life.
