A lovely piece, J, which I really enjoyed. I find it very hard to imagine an animal’s point of view; this story about your co-writers gets it just right. This reminds me of E. B. White’s writing for children, in which the animal, arachnid, and human characters all speak in wholly believable ways appropriate to their stations in life. This new genre of yours does show your deeply creative talent, beautifully. As ever, your finely crafted prose serves you well in this new endeavor. I await with happy anticipation the writings of Mantis and Marmoset.
Dear J, Mazel tov on signing the contract with your new co-authors. I am wondering. Is it possible to train the marmosets and the mantises to eat ticks? I ask this for my own selfish reasons living in central Virginia. Thank you.
I share your loathing, and revile my neighbors who consider deer to be Bambi while I see them as the tick-bearing vectors of disease, who ravage my garden when they should be sticking to the forest.
Judith, my mom's name is Judith and I love seeing her/your name come across my feed, your co- writers have lifted my morning out of the dark into the light. Marmoset and Mantis are a wonderful addition to your prose. Well done on your collaborative contract. Is Marmoset a male or female? Because he or she is very cute. I would love to see a video minus the video length of Mantis. Can't wait for their next dialog.
And I'm a black wolf that came from a black panther who was born of a raven!! Such greatness!!! I don't eat marmosets, or crickets😲😋😊 !! Merriment and wisdom!!
Not everything is "going to hell" please be mindful of the many young people who have their whole lives ahead of them. How do you think it would make you feel if you were 13 right now and adults around you were saying that it's all "going to hell"? We're not giving up. I say this gently, respectfully and I get that you didn't mean any harm with your sentiment. Saying such things flippantly is harmful. What we say matters. What we say has an impact. I hope I delivered this feedback as I intended which is to be helpful. Remember: sometimes it gets worse before it gets better and we can be the change we need as long as we don't fall prey to political apathy. Best wishes from a change maker.
So true and easily forgotten when there is so much wrongdoing that is often given more coverage than the healing that's happening in the world. I broke out of my crushing depression by finding sources that report on the good in the world so now I seek to share these resources with others as much as possible. The world needs to know about the healing happening in the world. The document is linked in my Instagram bio (@creaturesofnature24) and I'll be posting about them on here soon. It's meant to be shared. <3 much love

We humans can learn so much from
the animal kingdom. Thank you for the wisdom delivered with levity. Your marbles well in tact, mixed with a lot of nuts😉
