It was a great day…I served a beautiful Tea ceremony outside, followed by a relaxing yin yoga class. As I was driving home I knew I was going to sit down and record an expansive podcast about Nature & how to connect and all these beautiful things!!!!
And then…
I walked into my house…
And saw little feathers strewn all over the place…
EFF!!! My cats had killed a bird, again. Their second bird murder and fourth murder in life.
I sweet little Lesser Goldfinch lay on the carpet and as I pet it’s tiny body in my hands, I no longer felt expansive or exuberant.
But I did feel something…I felt connected to my role as steward, I felt like the bird had something to share with me & you, and I felt like plans be damned! We’re here to talk about life, and life was unexpectedly unfolding before me.
So here’s a beautiful exploration of the bird murder, how we accidentally kill or cause the death of animals too often, and what to do about it in the worst case scenarios.
Because yes, death is natural, but it doesn’t mean we’ve failed. There’s still work to be done and tomorrow we’ll do better.
Enjoy the episode and leave your thoughts in the comments!
P.S.: The book I mention is called Deer Man by Geoffroy Delorme.
