Today’s word is neither duckling, nor swan, which would have been
perfect for the anniversary of Hans
Christian Andersen’s birthday. This bird, being an inhabitant mainly of the Continent
of Africa in the 1800s, might have seemed exotic to the compassionate Danish
storyteller.
Om
mani padme hum. I
Send
you peace, dear bird.The routine, wealth-driven
Ripping out of your feathers
Indicates not whether, but just how
Cruel we anthropocentric
Humans can be.
I do understand the interplay among species of this world. I just
wish we humans could be more mindful regarding all that sustains us. I wish we
would look more closely at our needs as opposed to our wants. What is rushing
us so much that we don’t take time to think?
