A Kiss from the Giraffe

Dear Tall Giant,


How privileged I am to share this moment with you—an unexpected guest at our high tea on Voigtland Guestfarm. There’s something almost magical about your presence, as you and your two friends stride towards us, slowly, elegantly, with the grace only nature can bestow.


As we sip our coffee and tea, indulging in homemade treats that warm the deepest parts of our souls, I can’t help but notice your warm, gentle eyes watching us. They’re full of curiosity and calm, almost as if you know something we don’t—a silent wisdom passed down through centuries of roaming the African savannah.


When you finally arrive, towering above us, you bow in a quiet greeting, as if acknowledging our little gathering in your vast world. I rise from my chair and look up at you, humbled by your majesty, and I wonder: Do the stars shine more brightly for you? You who seem to reach the sky, to touch the heavens with your presence.


They’re full of curiosity and calm

There’s something incredibly moving about being in the company of such a creature. It’s as if time slows down, and in that moment, nothing else matters but the silent conversation between us and the giraffes. You bend down further, and for a brief moment, I feel the brush of your soft lips against my cheek—like a kiss from the wild, a tender touch from nature itself.


I’m struck by your gentle power, your peaceful demeanor. In a world that moves too fast, you remind me of the beauty of stillness, of simply being present. You remind me that we are all connected, that even in the hustle and chaos of life, there are moments of quiet wonder waiting to be found.

Thank you, dear tall giant, for this unexpected gift. It is a moment I will carry with me, a reminder that even in the most ordinary of settings, extraordinary things can happen—if we’re only willing to slow down and see them.



With gratitude from the heart of Namibia,


From Sandra’s pen, Namibia
