Checklist . A life worth living

If you had to fill this in at the end of your life, would you tick all the boxes? If so, then the animals around you were probably happy. If not, perhaps it is time for you to shift, and let the animals guide you to a better life.

Long may that connection with us last. It is cool that nature has not given up on us. Even though we try control it.
