As a reader from faraway South Africa, I see you accomplishing so much of real value, for yourself and - most especially - for others (including the wild ones). A tough year, to be sure, and I hope you can credit yourself for all you have put out into the world.

That exhalation, ...oh, again this is one of many ways Nature offers that warm wind which moves under our lives, a grounding and invitation to a translucency, a selflessness. As in, We are interconnected selves. Your gracious Owl tells me the same and tells me of the your love, piety, courage. Thank you
