Dirty V-word

Why is it that speaking about kindness toward animals generates so much backlash and vitriol?

Why is it that we so easily overlook suffering if it is not right in front of our faces?

How can we expect to expect justice and non-violence when we put violence and injustice in our mouths three times a day?

Why are we living in the past when we can be living in the future!? All it takes is starting to live with compassion and awareness for all life on Earth. That’s all. It just means we have to stop causing suffering for others, in order to drastically lessen the suffering of all. Either we end the anthropocentric causation of the Earth’s current mass extinction event, or it ends us. If we can’t be compassionate with each other, we don’t deserve longevity as a species.

I saw something fly out of my shirt too, where’d it go?
Oh, it definitely stung me. Now we’ve both been stung.  Ha!

How’s your leg, does it still hurt?
Thanks for walking with me and catching the first webs.

even when it appears lost.

Keep your eye on the sky, every once in a while

let ’em look
who cares what they will think
be yourself
and find out who you are

watch them watching
trying to see you
only seeing a fraction of what you show them
and their own reflections

passing by overhead
fading away at a snail’s pace
rusting, losing power, malfunctioning
blowing away

a faded recording
our fate could rest
in a single droid
help me Obi Wan
you are my only hope
