It is hard to love deeply. The land, the other creatures, especially the small ones that escape the attention of most people who are travelling much to fast in a world that travels at less than 3 miles an hour.
My bhean chéile and I share our lives not only with the birds, butterflies, bees, but also with the voles, grouse, wolves, bears and moose.
In a culture where getting food has become sport and trophy collecting, it is painful. Not only for the Earth and all the creatures, but especially for the other humans who are so lost that they do not even know it.
Yes, thank you for this beautiful, heartfelt comment and for sharing some of your non-human neighbors. It's nice to be able to picture them. I agree, so many humans are distracted and moving so fast they don't notice the beauty and wonder of their wild neighbors. Or that they are struggling and in many cases, disappearing. Slowing down, noticing and learning/from about them is an important step toward caring more deeply. At least I hope so. It's been that way for me.
Happy 50th Birthday Vanessa. Enjoy this season of life.
Thank you, Sarah 🌻
