The left eye is the moon a far away rock. It enlightens the darkness.And the right eye is the sun.Shining down its desire so we’ll all be able to breath.The mountains are her breast and the rivers and streams are her blood vessels.The desert is dry and needs moisture or it will forever die.Just as ourselves when we have a need to replenish our dry cells with moisture or we will die.What keeps our organs moistureized and well. Its up to us to feed it as well.And if we can’t see it as well. It may be a dry spell trying to keep us from doing well.And when we are well we have a piece of mind to keep on going doing well.And when we do well the peace up in ourselves shows signs of growth and production.After all what is life about other then being productive.So as the positives and negatives,good and bad,happy or sad.We should feed our minds that in which we our productive and with the growth there should be good and plenty.As one could say there are more of everything in this world then there are people including work.But the negative bad and sad thoughts want us to be counter productive.And this shouldn’t be.And if you were to leave the world up to me there would be plenty of work for you and me.Lots of peace and harmony and when the sun shines down its desire to feed our heartbeat the love that it needs.And everytime we look at someone we’ll have to think of love because that is how we were brought into the world was through love ,love ,love.

Kemosobi, your advice ties in with my feeling that people must accept that they are merely a part of nature, part of the huge life force which drives all living things.

Hugging a tree or an animal forces a human to acknowledge another life form and accept that it has a right to life too and that its rights should be respected.

Those trees in California made me feel insignificant and humble. Would that everyone could see them.

Hi David
I just wanted to raise briefly a point about the bison, apparently there is only 1% of bison that are free and wild, with the other percentage being owned privately by a white man, not a native American.
People please go and hug a tree, close your eyes listen to it creek and sway in the breeze, feel like an indigenous person and get connected to your countries spirit of the land.

Kathy, the white men slaughtered the Red Indians thinking they were savages. We know who the savages were!

Adina, I too love the homo stupidus label. Mechanization demonstrates clearly the extent of the stupidity. After all if we mechanize everything then humans won’t have a job or the money to buy all the crap that is made!

John, I hate seeing cruelty against animals. Perhaps we should be called homo stupidus cruelus.

Jeannie, Crowfoot got it right. Yet, ironically, most humans think that they are at the centre of the universe.

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time; it is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

Last words of Crowfoot,
A great hunter of the Blackfoot

Just like the rest of the wonderful individuals commenting on this unique site, impelled ( I think?) by a strong feeling that the world is moving in a DANGEROUS direction, I love the beatiful minds of yours – Adina

It’s me who thanks – I insist – also because
Cruelty to animals – makes me mad/sick, (when I see it.)

In my 60′ty years (of life) I’ve seen so much evilness perpetrated, and especially against defenceless animals. It’s an area/sphere of ‘great opportunities’ and completely impunity for those, (by one or another reason?) is saturated by hatred for which poor defenceless ‘animals’ have to suffer (without limit) , by which, the ‘dog’ has allways stand in the first row/line.

Therefore – (GOD (the BIG spirit) OUGHT TO PROMULGATE!)
” I shall judge you on the way that you treat DEFENCELESS (to which animals is to be reckoned).

Apropos: Adina

“Science is wasting precious time mechanicizing everything”

It’s another topic on which ‘das capital’ will spend huge amounts of money/resources/energies and time on, for the future world of mechanic (arteficial life) be it robots in various way, able to immitate humanbeings in all forms of work or private life. – driven by the inconvenient fact the that ‘humanbeing’ are WAY TOO MUCH expensive to employ.

It will not go many years from now before you can’t distinquish a robot from a ‘homo’.
( hope I’m dead then)!!

Dear John, so happy you liked my story. Thank you so much for the encouraging words.
You also put it better than I could “I think one can say with kind of certainty that an animal will never betrayed you – unlike – what you have to expect from homo (sapient?)-”…

Dear David, I am not an exception. We are many, see? We are outnumbered though.. Will we ever prevail? I do not think so. Does it matter? No. We will not abandon this road.

As many of my friends put it to me that time ,”you are wasting precious time on a crow instead of doing something more meaningful or profitable”. Is it ??????????? See. Humans are screwed. But there are many which I dearly love, contrasting the hate that I feel for the “homo stupidus” , which John so creatively invented

Kathy, these experiences have not been life changing in the sense of loving animals more (because I had the luck to be born in a family which always loved and helped animals – mostly tormented by the beloved homo stupidus). It changed me in the sense that it further strenghten my belief that there are precious things which cannot be quantified by science, or human “intelligence”. Emphaty, love, caring, intuition, adaptation.
Science is wasting precious time mechanicizing everything.. we should learn from animals. Even the greedy ones do not stuff themselves with more than they need, like humans do.

Adina your bird story is amazing! I’ve never had such prolonged close contact with birds or any other wild creatures for that matter. It’s a shame that your friend took your money and did you and the bird wrong!

I’m not sure what the crow was to the Indians but I believe the Indians had a close relationship and believed in special meanings for all animals.

Kathy, I think droughts and floods are going to be more frequent. The world is not treating climate change seriously and the big polluters don’t want to change their ways.

Adina, the contrast between you and your ‘friend’ highlights the extremes in behaviour that humans are capable of. The idiocy of humans indeed. Thank heavens the world has people like you in it!

John, most humans think they are the centre of the universe. How ridiculous. How irrational. How immature. How conceited.

Therese, most humans can’t handle the truth: about themselves or about their mortality and insignificance. Each human is just a drop in the huge river of life!
