For centuries it has been told that to achieve the most essential balance in life you must adopt a peaceful lifestyle with prudence, never exploiting your loved ones and the world around you. Billy knew that as a tourist he had a zillion questions he wanted to ask but had done nothing but listened intently as the ancient ones spoke of their rich culture. He was most intrigued by the folklore and wished to hear as much as he could. No one knew that Billy saw himself as a zebra in another life and with the decline of the species he knew it was his responsibility to preserve the species and make sure that didn’t happen. He hoped to learn how to strike a balance and as he heard the horn bellow from the main tent, he quickly washed with soap and water so as to be clean for the next ritual. This journey would lead to a new awakening, he could just feel it.
