‘In the heart of the Okavango Delta,’ I wrote, ‘a simple yet profound lesson in relationships happens every day. A lesson of cooperation, of mutual benefit, of consultative selling, of communities living in harmony with each other’. I scribbled, ‘The Tortoise and the Butterfly’ across the top of the first page in my notebook. Like the title to a whole new book. We are all co-conspirators in their delicate dance of survival, teaching us that we are all connected.
