You ain't heavy, you my brother


Animals provide me with incredible moments.  Yet, I remain a worrier.  Am I doing my best.  Am I inspring others to do their best around me.  Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by heavy attitudes around me.  I feel sure that people wish to provide their 100% for the planet and for the animals, and yet I note that there is ego in the world - mine and theirs, and the despair this provides is disheartening.  Please put it down.  Look with clarity at what needs doing and stop worrying about the fact that the world is not fair - because it is not fair!!!  So what. 

I have another blog - www.bigthankyou.blogspot.com.  The reason for this is so that i continuously remind myself of what I am grateful for.  There is so much.  The sunrise this morning.  The mist in the valley as I left home.  The warm dog tucket in next to me when I woke up. The animals that chirped in delight when I wondered past them at work.  The cats sunning themselves in teh driveway.  There are a few things that may need to become law - one is that we all continuously look at how much wonder and magic there is around us and say thank you.  Imagine if our law givers made things like this law.  Then our planet would most definitely have a chance.

Thank God I am surrounded by amazing animals.  Because they do inspire me - inspite of dispirited attitude around me.  They definitely are not heavy.  More like the air that enables me to live.

In memory of my mother

My mum passed when I was 23. I never really had the opportunity to come back home to a respectful relationship with her after my teenage rebellious tribulations and assaults on her goodwill. So this blog is to honour and thank her for her contribution to my love for  nature.  She was an avid bird watcher and had dreams of travelling through the bush. I have many memories of her being fascinated by animals on our weekend getaways to the Kruger National Park.  My first memory of her was her riding a horse called Thunder. That is a beautiful memory and the name of the horse is as mystical and awe inspiring as her impact on who I am in relationship with animals.  She was fearless. And always confident that all would be well. She had faith in my animal relationships always. As a very young child I was given the task on many occasions to hand rear orphan wildlife and pets. She never micro managed the process but would offer helpful insight that came naturally to her.  The animals in our home

Reflections and projections

When they judge or throw stones (the people) - grace makes us the blank screen or the still water onto which they can see themselves and take personal account for their actions. When we train animals can we be that clear. So as to wisely be and act rather than contest and fight for what we want🥰
