Karen beautiful piece of poetry but when we fell from God's grace in the garden so did our disrespect for other forms of life, especially the animal kingdom. The whole creation pleads for change and awaits the Savior who offers peace, love, and togetherness! Thank You.

In my area, they are widening a major highway. Love that solution to overcrowding, don't you? I guess first-shifters are so dang important that they don't realize the problem of overcrowding would be solved if companies staggered man hours. Overcrowding is something I discovered while working days. I hated it. Back on night hours, I have no issues on the highway, in stores, or in the few restaurants open at those hours. It's too bad that our first solution is to destroy, because it's just more convenient. I love this message of nuturing, Karen. We definitely need to think like this more often. Hugs,
Sheila

Karen,
In his sonnet 'God's Grandeur' Hopkins writes, "...nor can foot feel, being shod." Your poem brings this back to me and makes me ask once again are we really in touch with the earth we inhabit?
I love all the questions you ask, they provoke and demand and are very worthwhile.

A most interesting and thought-provoking write. I certainly don't have the answers to your questions, but one would think that each animal, including man, in its own right has an individual superiority that can not be matched by another. (Could man survive in a jungle of wild animals without his weapons?) Who is superior then?

I have never felt animals were below us. Just because we make weapons, listen to iPods and watch TV while surfing the Internet, does that make us special? Do animals make chemicals that pollute and poison the food chain with more artificial chemicals? Do animals drive around in cars that spew death fumes? In some cases, I feel animals are above us, but the wild ones fear us and avoid us since there are humans that hunt them to extinction. I watched a rattlesnake run away from two men while they did everything they could to catch it, to enslave it, to keep it in a glass-tank for the rest of its life. When you keep score, the word �animal� is far above that of the word �human�. Do animals go on Crusades and wage wars that slaughter millions. Sure they fight, but it is usually for food or territory but not just to kill out of hate that was learned.

Man practiced it on the Napoleonic War marching towards Moscow, the burn-earth where everything was obliterated so the enemy would march on barred land, then it was the turn of the Germans to do the same in Norway.
Man has learned well(?) because that burn-earth is practiced in the Amazon, Malaya, Indonesia and others, felling or burning forest that kill the fauna, man is working hard to put the world we know today just left in books for future generations (if it will be some after)
Evolving kingdom...how sad it will be when it is not anymore.

Karen this is one of the best poems I have read in regards to showing the love and respect for all of the animals in this world. It is true we do need to set the standards and ensure that the animal kingdom like the human species will survive. This was a great write because you spoke openly without the preaching or threats that many conservationists tend to use these days. Thanks for sharing such wonderful and important views my friend.

Deep thoughts, Karen. Channels for real change are met with strong resistance. Why? Efforts to maintain the status quo? At what price?
Excellent write!
