Gandalph the amazing

Reminded this week about the healing power of animals. Felt so sorry for myself wrapped up in flu and misery. Dragged myself to stables to muck out. And met with honest present beauty. Just there.

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.
