This week I found myself just wanting to read...
In the mist of reading all my new and old books,
I found myself especially moved by a book I've been meaning to read..
A book called "Gaia Calling" by Kim Bold...
For such a little book with short chapters,
I found myself reflecting so much that it took me days to read it...
What a Magical Book...The history of the human species told through
the lives of earth's other creatures....
Each chapter stirred such emotions that I'm moved to write to you about it...
Chapter 1: Beaver - Why? Why says the Wise One....Why build dams?
Because that's what Beavers do...
Why are we impelled to write songs?
Because that's what writers do.....
Chapter 2: Walrus - Most unpredictable..I thought the story would end differently.
The Walrus would save the herd with his vocal skills...
Instead he came full circle in a most humble way...
Chapter 3: Lynx - "Crossing the river of the subconscious mind"
Things get better when reach the limit of your abilities....
Chapter 4: Giraffe - "daily pursuits" Team work, "many colors of thought",
"look into their eyes (Wildebeests) to find your own humorous
shortcomings and then you will no longer need to run with the wildebeests"..
"Coordinating your movements with your thoughts".
Many hidden messages in this one...
Chapter 5: Panda - "His high pitched cry pierced the plants and all of nature"..
The process of learning and growing......Mother Earth's Aid...
Chapter 6: Toucan - The Sloth was most intriguing.."Because my thoughts are so
deeply rooted in spiritual matters, my body serves as an earthly portal for the
light of the spirit"...Wow.....
"Ethereal instrument...The darker side of liberty/justice...
Chapter 7: Badger - 'Animal Planet' had a recent episode on some badgers,
so this was especially meaningful... "tunnel creations"...
The Fox was most interesting...His tail is his rudder...
Hit home, I've been the Fox many many times over....
I guess I need to find my "dancing tree"...
In summary, the 1st and last chapters, The Beaver and The Badger,
hit closest to home...all the current nerves were touched...
I sure have a lot to learn...
The interconnectiveness of the animals in the stories, each stirring the thoughts
and deeds of the the main character kept the stories moving...
Thanks for the ride.....
Peace and May 2007 be a good year for you....
