Good fortune with my friends in Dubai. We visited Ski Dubai in a shopping centre and got to meet Gentoo and King penguins. My friend Sean describes Dubai as an expression of the human ego. This is pretty accurate. Buildings and facilities for the amusement of human kind. It is a breath of fresh air to encounter something natural in this city. And in a Desert city, to meet their 'snow penguins' is amazing. A real honour.
I always found the concept of surrender a cop out. Something one would do if one was too weak to take on a situation. So, when I found myself in a situation where I am unable to follow my passion in the most effective manner, I experienced great discomfort. Speaking up was immediately taken as judgement. Even though it was never intended as that. The presumed judgement resulted in defence. And the drama began, and unfolded. Chasms and vindication ruled. Frustration and finger pointing. What has this to do with animals? For those of us that work with animals, they are like kids. They sense how we feel. Our moods affect them. So, when this type of angst environment is created, the disturbance affects the creatures that we love. The lesson – stop the angst. It is not worth upsetting the animals. Nothing is. So, surrender. Not sure where this will go. But I am here righ...
