Touching Animal Souls

Shelter guard trust facade Property hard fuss bard Where here always a way Say be, neigh see Allow annoy coy Troy Breakdown frown mourn torn Here now allow bow Arrow shoot suit duet And it is then that i feel and know Between you and me Relative joy or sorrow All that I borrow While I search for me Free done freedom Liberated satiated done with the sun And I lie in the sand and cloud bust Pure Oblivion Cloud busting - intend more of that Be Without apology Like the tree I cannot name That damned me with rotting compost-moist mosquito companions Doing a job Blessed I held my back close against its bark Remarked and marvelled at its faith to stand and grow and thrive and live right here Unapologetic Worthy Unjustified Not right Not wrong Presence alone gentle and constant Enough

 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.
