Have you ever exchanged a lengthy stare with a creature of the forest?
Stood there still as could be, just looking into wild eyes? Hoping you don’t
scare your newfound acquaintance; wanting to take in all the chaotic detail
of its physicality; until one of you turns away to go about his business
and then the connection is broken, except for the memory of the
moment that you carry with you from then on.
A moment of interspecies connection…remembering that common language we use to have. Perhaps this is how we find it again?? LOVE!
Yes, just imagine the conversations we’ve been missing!
Love this! Do you know D.H. Lawrence’s poem “The Snake”? Worth googling it. It’s one of my favourites, on this exact feeling.
The Snake. Yes. What an honest depiction of a similar interaction.
