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.

On his retirement. A tribute to a legend

Veterinarian & human extraordinaire. 50 years of true service to the animal world, the animal people, and to his animal-loving family.  Four siblings all who care significantly for animals as a result of the way we were raised.  To respect life.  Because that is who our father his.  Our father is more than a vet.  He is a compassionate man.  A vet who took his oath to care for animals to the greatest level, inspiring those close and around him to do the same.  Caring so deeply.  Working so hard.  Ensuring that he always did his best.  He has such depth and wisdom.  He has always had a following of people in his life who he wisely guides.  His generosity is boundless.  He has inspired his children way more than can be imagined.  We are pretty sure there are not many people who are so fortunate to have this example of humble love to follow.  We are equally unsure whether we can truly honour his example by dupli...

 Just love that nature finds a way.  It is testament to the fact that nature is intelligent.  Listened to a talk by Dr Philip Shepherd who is the creator of The Embodied Present Process.  He spoke of how our society has become patriarchal over time and separated us from nature so that we control her.  When working with animals and being able to be completely present, we have all had moments where we connect on a deep level and understand where the animal is at.  Nothing better than those moments.  In the moments where I have felt that it feels like love and is followed by big gratitude.   This pic is a whole group of bats who have found a way to roost in an urban setting.  Long may that connection with us last.  It is cool that nature has not given up on us.  Even though we try control it.
