was commanding him to look up at the forbidden summit
and as he did so he saw,
in the light of one of the greatest of mythological African sunsets,
a pure white feather fluttering down from on high towards him.
He put out his hand and grasped the feather and,
they who told me the story said,
he died content.
When I asked them what the name of this great white bird was, they told me:
'The bird has many names but we believe it was the Bird of Truth.'
From the writings of Laurens Van der Post

and love is the aboriginal tracker on the faded desert spoor of his lost self;
and so I came to live my life not by conscious plan or prearranged design
but as someone following the flight of a bird.

Worries and the world
Lose their importance.

of a man having honour within his own natural spirit.
A man cannot live and temper his mettle without such honour.
There is deep in him a sense of the heroic quest;
and our modern way of life, with its emphasis on security,
its distrust of the unknown and its elevation of abstract collective values
has repressed the heroic impulse to a degree
that may produce the most dangerous consequences.

than when they are convinced beyond doubt that they are right.

Sir Laurens wrote that,
‘mere contact with twentieth-century life seemed lethal to the Bushman.
He was essentially so innocent and natural a person
that he had only to come near us for a sort of radioactive fall-out
from our unnatural world to produce
a fatal leukaemia in his spirit’
(p.111 of 233)

weren’t in need of Christianity.
They didn’t need a sound person to defer to, live through, be ‘born-again’ through as a result of being so upset they could no longer afford
to trust in and live through themselves.
They weren’t that upset.
In his 1985 book Black Robe, the Northern Irish novelist Brian Moore recorded this revealing comment made by an American Indian to Jesuit missionaries in Canada about the comparative innocence of native people:
‘It is because you Normans are deaf and blind
that you think this world is a world of darkness
and the world of the dead is a world of light’
(p.184 of 256).

‘This shrill, brittle, self-important life of today is by comparison a graveyard
where the living are dead and the dead are alive
and talking [through our soul] in the still, small, clear voice of a love and trust in life that we have for the moment lost…
[there was a time when] All on earth and in the universe were still members and family of the early race seeking comfort and warmth through the long,
cold night before the dawning of individual consciousness
in a togetherness which still gnaws like an unappeasable homesickness
at the base of the human heart’
(Testament to the Bushmen, 1984,
pp.127--128 of 176).
Sir Laurens further recognized the battle between our original innocent instinctive self and our newer ‘individual consciousness’ when he wrote,
‘I spoke to you earlier on of this dark child of nature, this other primitive man within each one of us with whom we are at war in our spirit’
(The Dark Eye in Africa, 1955,
p.154 of 159).

there's a guilt that grows great and angry in the basement of our beings.”
