Wild world

No picture.

Just a crazy appreciation that the world is wild and out of control.y. husband staff member held hostage. Gun shot in our neighborhood tonight. Possibility of WiFi at our remote home negligible and do we want it. Listening to a podcast on whether it is more ethical to feed kittens destined for euthanasia because they are homeless or bred rats to pet snakes. Mars has signs of methane and hence life. People starve while humans support fast food outlets that package food in wasteful containers. Passive humans too afraid to stand for anything. Escapism on a screen. Religion and rules all muddled up. Rescued penguins released to get caught in an oil slick after a week in the wild. Bad driver cutting us off on the way home.

A lot of judgement and projection and anxiety.

Big breath. There is goodness inside us. We all know it. I look forward to a time where we pitch forward in a rediscovered a garden of eden. It is within our reach. It is everywhere. Behind picket fences. In zoos and aquariums. In fenced game parks and cities. On this amazing planet.

It is within us

adaptable animals

 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.
