Thanks! I guess I’ve been on my Hamster wheel more than usual lately. I will take steps to rectify that. We both need to see the skunk cabbage in bloom.
ReplyDelete1/happy birthday, h.h., and many more
ReplyDelete2/the tree knot photo reminds me of a favorite walt whitman passage
“I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain’d, I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition, They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things, Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago, Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.”
2.5/this paints too rosy a picture of animal selfhood, unfortunately - as tennyson noted, nature is red in tooth and claw
