Unbelievable... She's like a pup. So, so beautiful...
One more reason to recycle that plastic water bottle. So, it doesn't end up in her Living Room.
Or better yet, just get some from the tap.

Gertjie
Orphaned baby rhino Gertjie refuses to sleep alone after witnessing his mother's death at the hands of poachers
The baby rhino was found 'crying inconsolably' next to his dead mother
I just finally realized what I want to do when I grow up...
I want to poach poachers.
(And while I'm not going to actually pursue that line of work, I AM going to try to be extra kind. To everyone and every "thing". I wouldn't mind outshining that kind of wickedness.)

"One of the funniest moments was when I discovered two otters that looked like a couple," says Your Shot member Roman Golubenko. "They were taking care of each other like a loving couple, and they were turning to me as if to get captured for a family portrait." (source of photo)
This just makes me MELT. DO YOU HEAR ME??? MELT, I SAY!!!
I'm butta... I'm like the squaw on the cova of Land O'Lakes.

The Best Show on Earth
I love this. Thank you to my dear friend and stunning correspondent in the U.K., the "butterfly", Lorraine, for this wonderful contribution.
We're a part of this great big beautiful world. Not the owners of it. And the sooner we start behaving that way, the better. Nature. It's still the best show on Earth.

what we think about expands and wears pathways in our hearts and minds
So, why not let weeds choke the well-worn trails of guilt and regret... of envy and greed... of fear and need. Liberation lies in love.
"Let one therefore keep the mind pure, for what a man thinks, that he becomes." ~ The Upanishads
I'm trying anyway... And when I falter (which is often), I remind myself, progress, not perfection. And with "exercise", it DOES get easier...

Pigs are smart and aware, and yet we confine them, mistreat them, slaughter them and eat them. It’s the very definition of evil. Future generations will rightly condemn us for it.
