Wilden Free

Wilden Free

 

I don’t like seeing

animals

   

in cages or in zoos ..

I don’t like

plants in troughs,

   or in pots ..

They all belong in

jungles,

   or deserts surely ..

Or maybe

some other wilden

natural

habitat, free to roam

and bloom

 

  somewhere like us ..

On our way to

   

   getting hopelessly lost ..

I would like to be associated with the words of the above writer. Parts of which I am certainly guilty of. In my defence I will say that all my animals are my friends and companions. My dogs think they have died and gone to heaven since we moved up here. And my plants seem to relish in looking good and they are as far as I can all local. I still am in awe of your wit however and the underlying points you make so consistantly.

I am more than honoured Ken, thank you sir .. and to answer your earlier question, the midges were kind to us this time .. I know just how bad they can be from several previous jaunts ..

Sure, I see men roaming for big trees in jungle. Let them keep portraits of animals instead of animals in zoos

[Neville]

what a wonderful idea my friend, I am so glad you left it here for me to appreciate, enjoy & wish for .. Neville

dearest Neville… a Rambling Rose 🌹 is an escape to paths of Heather… where Fox and Geese have a Retreat. The Shelter of a Tree with Branches will be warmer if a Bear will give you 🫂 hugs. 🥰 gently, Pat

Neville,
When we visit the jungle, our hobnails crunch on whole habitats important to only those who lie under our size 12s, and they are leveled. We pass through, unaware of the clumsy bull we are in Nature's China Shop, so we grab what we like, and confine it in some small space in the name of "taming the chaos." The entire planet is better off where we cannot reach.

You just made my day sir .. I can not think of anything more apt than your concluding line .. The entire planet is better off where we cannot reach .. Many serious thank you's are on their way to you .. Neville

I've seen hawks in cages and they surely didn't look like hawks. I mean they had all the spectacular physical features but the spirit seemed lacking. They sat stooped and dull eyed. Indeed, the same must go for us. The roles and rituals of life place much limitations on our true potential. We should be free to roam, free to bloom and get lost to find ourselves. Beautifully stated, dear Neville.

You just hit the proverbial nail squarely on its head .. I am indeed honoured that you read me so .. Thank you DIVYA and truly .. Neville
