    <description>Somewhere deep inside, you know what your gift, purpose, and mission are.  Boyd Varty, a lion tracker and life coach, reveals how the wisdom from the ancient art of tracking can teach you how to recognize these essential ingredients in a meaningful life.  Know how to navigate, don’t worry about the destination, and stay alert. These are just a few of the strategies that contribute to both successful lion tracking and a life of fulfillment.   Trackers learn how to use all of their senses to read the environment and enter into a state of “greater aliveness.” When we learn to find and follow our inner tracks, we learn to see what is deeply important to us.

  <itunes:subtitle>Our first morning of tracking in the Delta starts early - following the tracks of a lonely hyena track with lacklustre enthusiasm.

  <description>Our first morning of tracking in the Delta starts early - following the tracks of a lonely hyena track with lacklustre enthusiasm.  Suddenly, our morning takes an exhilarating turn and the energy of the group shifts, as we find ourselves on the trail of a pack of Wild Dogs - also known as African Wolves, or Painted Wolves. 
In most places, we wouldn’t bother following the tracks of wild dogs as the ground they cover is too vast.  But here, in the Delta we have no boundaries or time constraint. We feel the vitality and the movement of the wild dogs and we begin to move as a pack.  The hours pass and we follow onwards into a massive wilderness. We are interacting with the wild like few people can. The wild has started to shape us. 
Mentioned in this episode:
The San people is the broad term for the name of many clans that make up the Bushmen. I will refer to the people I met with the term Bushmen because that is how they asked me to refer to them.

  <description>Being lost is part of being found. 
In this episode, I share my experience of being lost, tracking lions with group of guests on a Track Your Life retreat.
Stories are layered with meaning. Meaning is almost always a constellation of thoughts and beliefs that weave into a story - and retreat participants were pulled into an unfolding co-created story, making meaning out of the experience. They had learnt a basic universal lesson: there is always something unfolding as it should.
I learnt a lot during those few hours of being lost. In particular, I had learnt that nothing bad ever happened to a storyhunter.

I’m not going to try and summarize of sign off well. I have said what I need to say.  I will leave you with an anthem by the late great South Africa Johnny Clegg.  Volume up, listen to the words:
The world is full of strange behavior
Every man has to be his own savior
I know I can make it on my own if I try
But I'm searching for a great heart to stand me by
Underneath the African sky
A great heart to stand me by
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
To hold and keep me by
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
Under African sky
Sometimes I feel that you really know me
Sometimes there's so much you can show me
There's a highway of stars across the heavens
There's whispering song of the wind in the grass
There's the rolling thunder across the savanna
A hope and dream at the edge of the sky
And your life is a story like the wind
Your life is a story like the wind
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
To hold and stand me by
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
Under African sky
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
I see the fire in your eyes
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
That beats my name inside
Sometimes I feel that you really know me
Sometimes there's so much you can show me
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
To hold and stand me by
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
Under African sky
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

There&#39;s whispering song of the wind in the grass<br>
There&#39;s the rolling thunder across the savanna<br>
A hope and dream at the edge of the sky<br>
And your life is a story like the wind<br>
Your life is a story like the wind</p>

<p>I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
To hold and stand me by<br>
I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
Under African sky<br>
I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
I see the fire in your eyes<br>
I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
That beats my name inside<br>
Sometimes I feel that you really know me<br>
Sometimes there&#39;s so much you can show me</p>

<p>I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
(Guka &#39;mzimba, sala &#39;nhliziyo)<br>
I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>

I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
To hold and stand me by<br>
I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
Under African sky</p>

<p>I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>

I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>

    <![CDATA[<p>And then all of sudden we were there. The face of the people I love.  Saying goodbye with immense gratitude to the tree and this beautiful place on the river. The last dawn from inside this experience on the river. I know this is not the end but the beginning.  You will be hearing from me.  There is so much life for us all to live.  I’m not going to try and summarize of sign off well. I have said what I need to say.  I will leave you with an anthem by the late great South Africa Johnny Clegg.  Volume up, listen to the words:</p>

<p>The world is full of strange behavior<br>
Every man has to be his own savior<br>
I know I can make it on my own if I try<br>
But I&#39;m searching for a great heart to stand me by<br>
Underneath the African sky<br>
A great heart to stand me by</p>

<p>I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
To hold and keep me by<br>
I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
Under African sky<br>
Sometimes I feel that you really know me<br>
Sometimes there&#39;s so much you can show me</p>

<p>There&#39;s a highway of stars across the heavens<br>
There&#39;s whispering song of the wind in the grass<br>
There&#39;s the rolling thunder across the savanna<br>
A hope and dream at the edge of the sky<br>
And your life is a story like the wind<br>
Your life is a story like the wind</p>

<p>I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
To hold and stand me by<br>
I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
Under African sky<br>
I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
I see the fire in your eyes<br>
I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
That beats my name inside<br>
Sometimes I feel that you really know me<br>
Sometimes there&#39;s so much you can show me</p>

<p>I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
(Guka &#39;mzimba, sala &#39;nhliziyo)<br>
I&#39;m searching for the spirit of the great heart<br>
(Guka &#39;mzimba, sala &#39;nhliziyo)<br>

  <itunes:subtitle>How do we get back to the spirit of life?

Ubuntu - I am because of you, you are because of me.
Your presence helps me be a person.
It seems to run deeper than that.  Deeper than people, the animals, plants, rivers.

Get quiet enough to really hear the voice inside you.  Follow that and I suspect it will take you back instantly to the spirit of life.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>Fresh tracks of a pride of lions in the predawn light behind the camp.  Its been strangely cool, almost like a cold winter has been knocking on the door.  Tracks cut down into the river and onto a beautiful sandbank.  The sand allows you to see very clearly how the pride plays with each other.  The tracks then cut up onto a hippo path.  I’m nervous to follow but do so anyway.
The path opens into a small beach near the rivers edge.  The cats pace from side to side not wanting to go in.  With the water so brown and many crocodiles I try to find a better crossing point.  Eventually I find my way across and move up river.  Its think and grass and suddenly all the trees look similar.  I find my tree and go down to the waters edge to beautiful pug marks of the tracks in the sand.
Why are these tracks beautiful?  Its the perfect outline of this formidable predators large foot.  Its the feeling that you are walking where the lions walk.  Like you can almost feel the animals up ahead.  It’s the spirit of the moment.
A short while later I find them, a lioness sitting in the golden morning light.  My day is set, its 8:45am and I have find lions already.
I think of the Chief Seattle quote, when all the animals are gone humans will find a loneliness of spirit.
This is of a loneliness or bankruptcy of the spirit of life seems important.  Have you ever walked into a soulless building - like a new mall.  Well that at more subtle levels seem to be what we are losing and do not know that we are losing it.  The very essence of family, community, work and play is losing its spirit.
I remember walking in a wilderness that had lost its animals in a war.  It was strangely eerie.
How do we get back to the spirit of life?

  <description>Boyd begins preparing for his immersion into the wilderness by spending the morning tracking a pride of lions which ends in an unusual encounter.  Together with the increase in temperature at the end of the summer season Boyd contemplates the impact of the weather (hot and cold, dry and wet) on his time in the wilderness.
Boyd discusses books that he is considering taking out to the treehosue with him.  Some titles include:
* The Call of the Wild - Jack London
* The Ivory Trail - Cecil Barnard and T. V. Bulpin
* West with the Night - Beryl Markham
* The Overstory - Richard Powers
* St Francis of Assisi - Richard Rohr
Boyd tells the story of Shangaan tracker Winnis Mathebula and some of his ingenious bushcraft borne from a life of simplicity.
