ASTRO & THE TREE OF LIFE 🌳🐒🐕


Astro leaped from the heavens and landed straight inside the Magic Bus.

Scott was hosting the Hadzabe, and somehow, he'd been gifted a baboon. The evening's proposed dinner? Baboon with Onions.

Unfortunately, Scott was hopelessly tone-deaf to the situation.

Five days passed. The baboon began to smell. Then it really began to smell. But Scott's olfactory receptor cells had grown so accustomed to the stench that they had practically surrendered.

Astro barked. And barked. And barked some more.

Nothing.

So, Astro took initiative and baboon.

With the unfortunate creature dangling gently from his powerful jaws, the disciplined Cane Corso trotted across the African savanna like a dog on a mission.

Overhead, a magnificent rainbow stretched across the sky. Beneath it stood an enormous tree, its ancient branches spreading across the landscape.

Astro knew. This was the Tree of Life.

From beneath its towering branches emerged an elderly Hadzabe healer, smiling warmly.

"Well, now! Who could this be?"

He looked at the enormous dog, then at the lifeless baboon.

"Oh, yes. The baboon and big bad Astro!"

The old healer understood the cycle of life. He gently gathered the baboon into his arms, closed his eyes, and prayed.

For a moment, everything seemed still.

Then something extraordinary happened.

The baboon stirred.

Its eyelids fluttered.

And slowly, its eyes opened.

Astro watched quietly beside the healer.

Above them, the rainbow shone across the African sky.

A new day. And a new life.

Scott L.

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
