Laurens van der Post, in his book The Lost World of the Kalahari, narrates his experience living with the foresters of the Kalahara Desert, an ancestral people deeply connected to nature.
One of the most shocking stories is when foresters were surprised to discover that Van der Post couldn’t “hear the stars.” At first they thought he was joking or lying, but when they realized he was telling the truth, they were filled with sadness. For them, not hearing the whisper of the universe is not a simple lack, but a sign of spiritual illness: total disconnection with the natural world.
