planet in a bubble

It is crazy that we don't all think alike. For one Snowflake may be a pest. For another, pet reptile feed. For some there is no opinion, and for the lucky ones, Snowflake inspires love. Imagine living in my world - where there is just love. It must be hard for those of you who do not relate. Just as it is hard for me to imagine feeling the way you do. I recognise the macho snake handlers who pretend they don't really care. I have met real men who show that they do care. Who are respectful in relationship with their duties. I suppose it is a little like the story of our ancient ancestors who would thank the planet for her bounty. What happened to that respect. When did the functioning of the electrics in our appliances become more important than life. Big breath. I invite you into my bubble. Look closely at Snowflake. See her little paws. See how she sits on her haunches and eats delicately holding her food. See her little digits - the miracle of her tiny form. Her busy whiskers and alertness. Her light soft fur. The miracle.

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

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 duplicating his consistently magnanimous actions. We have incredible memories

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🥰
