Thank goodness the world can't be corrupted with Mantis and Marmosets as human offsets

I think it was corrupted and they're trying to deal with it. Thank you for reading and thank you for your comments.

What beautiful writing, once again. How you weave what is going on in the world today into a piece on a seemingly unrelated topic is masterful and completely unique. I always can't wait to read more of it.

Another magical moment! Thank you, Judith - and thank you, Marmoset (love the 30s hair do!) and Mantis. I read long ago that Mantis is the deity for the oldest humans in the world, the click-speaking little people of the African desert.

Marmoset ... You are a beauty, truly .. With very sad woeful eyes. .. .I empathize .. I know you will survive, and more than that you will live .. Unlike humankind .. We've allowed ourselves time and again to be led be unkind, unwise humanoids incapable of seeing the big true picture !! You will survive, this beyond beautiful, lush planet will survive .. the ignorant, two legged, humanoids are time stamped !! Be happy to be a Marmoset and let your eyes sparkle !!

Trenchant political commentary, mixed together with tender, whimsical marmoset

and mantis anthropomorphism makes for a wonderful recipe for Readers’ Delight! Thank you, Judith.

My first reading, the final line was "thank you for your kinship." I'm sticking with that

I like the phrase “the braying of “leaders” and the fraying of social fabric”

I selfishly hope you figure out how to keep this up so you can continue to inspire me. I read so much that blurs together but news from bewilderment always makes me wonder.
