I try to turn my head and just focus on peace, love, little yellow daisies, groovy sunsets and all the sweet things of our world that make us all say, “Awww.” --<br /><br />It's what makes us the tree-hugging hippie chick, the crazy dog lady (or cat lady), the annoying girl who tells people they are wrong when they bully someone, the loudmouth who calls people on the shit that wrongly impacts others, the narc that complains about cruelty - to animals, the earth, humanity.... it IS a cross to bear, there is no doubt. It's not that "they" are always wrong and we are always right (well, maybe it is! haha), but it's that "they" are not always as compassionate and once that light is on in your soul, you just can't turn it off for any animal, person, tree, butterfly... <br /><br />So glad you are my soul sister. xoxoNinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089264962346667633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107737623514518595.post-19278234612288739272012-08-20T17:36:40.010-07:002012-08-20T17:36:40.010-07:00So much to do.....and is there enough time? Perhap...So much to do.....and is there enough time? Perhaps....but I would say that it is all our land and trees and the rest to care for. That we belong to it too. A beautiful connected DESGN that we are compelled and even screaming and crying to care for better. <br />You are an inspiration to care for things better and to stay 'awake' and aware that the little things matter so much. Your writing matters in that way.....sharing what you see and feel from your post up in the trees next to the squirrels and woodpeckers. <br />And then the inner voice in you that wants to say things that a chainsaw would...but you hold it back in that awareness of kindness to give a little more space for those who are still maybe learning to care more.<br />Love you.<br />ShemShemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17051920595825493656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107737623514518595.post-21642304836398567822012-08-20T11:06:49.829-07:002012-08-20T11:06:49.829-07:00So glad you're "calling it as you see it....So glad you're "calling it as you see it." Joseph Campbell once wrote, "A hero is a person who does the best there is in the worst of times." So proud of you for turning in those chain-saw tree cutters...reminds me of my old growth forest-protesting days in Oregon. Here' a couple of lines from the Eugene, OR, Register-Guard article I wrote: " I don't know if I want to cry or scream, but I can't sit still. It's not my land, it's not my trees. I know all that. But somehow, I feel that there's a spirit dying out there today." Thank you, thank you, for caring...for taking action...for being who you are...for preserving that fragile spirit living in the trees. You're one in a million... Whatever, it all starts with just one. Keep on feeding the good wolf and we, your loyal readers, will work to do the same.<br /> BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01380696948179481717noreply@blogger.com
