All achievements make
my bosom swell with pride
and the world hates me
modesty connects ego
with social niceties
Life is all about sensitivity and balance – my needs with others, my feelings with others. Animals display it, and the jungle shows multiple nuances of relationships, other than the hunter and hunted. Strength is an attribute of the body, intellect an attribute of the mind, and care-giving of the soul.
comprehensive strengths
make us superior to
all other species
the challenge of life is
in staying integrated.

Love your work Ritu, you know I do, but humans superior, no, were the only species on planet earth that can’t understand that the majority of things we do are killing it, and time is running out. With much respect,
Mick
