Reaching this spot always gives good reason to take a seat and absorb the pure beauty of these mountains. We sat for a good while, sheltered from a stiff wester...ly wind, consuming a little late afternoon energy before the long descent down to the car. It had been an epic spring day on the mountain, enhanced even more with this grand scene. #SouthAfrica Old blog post related to this scene - https://justinhawthorne.blog//hiking-panorama-circuit-at-/ Jonkershoek Nature Reserve, South Africa CapeNature Love South Africa

As a singer I sing at many funerals & I was recently asked by a funeral director to play & sing at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or ...friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery out in the country. As I was not familiar with the area, I got lost. I finally arrived an hour late and saw that the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn’t know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I sang like I’ve never played before for this homeless man. As I sang & played Amazing Grace, the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished, I packed up my keyboard and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, I’ve never seen nothin’ like that before and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years. Apparently, I’m still lost.
