The Essence of Fynbosvlei
(Written by Gail Hannekom)

What is the essence of Fynbosvlei, this wonderful gift entrusted to us by our gracious Creator God?
​
Is it the call of the fish eagle at dawn?
​
Is it the aromatic perfume of the fynbos after rain?
​
Is it the diamond mornings when dewdrops shimmer like a trillion tiny rainbows on every leaf and twig as they catch the light of the low morning sun,
​
Or the ever-changing beauty and fascination of the fynbos throughout the seasons, and in the perfection and symmetry of even the tiniest of fynbos flowers?
​
Is it the spider webs scattered across the fynbos like discarded lace handkerchiefs, or in the evocation of rainbows that reflect off them in the sunlight?
​
Is it there in an achingly beautiful calm, wind-still morning when the lake, like a mirror, is a reflection of the trees, dunes, mountains and clouds?
​
Is it in the susurration of the wind in the reeds at the waters edge?
​
Is it there on a quiet, tranquil evening when the lake reflects the ever-changing colours of the sunset?
​
It is where the full moon rises in the east when the moon river crowns each ripple with silver,
​
Or in a calm, moonless night when even the starshine is mirrored in the dark, still, waters below?
​
Is it in the wonder in people's eyes when they see the beauty for the first time,
​
Or in the pleasure and enjoyment gifted to everyone by a piece of Paradise meant for sharing?
​
No. It is not a single one of these. It is in all and every one, and more, and I thank the Lord every day for blessing us with the privilege of being able to love and care for this very, very special place.
