Us humans are surrounded by other living creatures that have been instrumental in the progress of our race. Due to our living environment and where we have chosen to roam there are certain animals that have made more of a difference on our lives. I truly have a love and passionate connection to animals. I admire their creative survival skills, their warmth for their families, the mystery of their enduring minds, and the ability to utilize their communities and kin in order to lead a progressive life. I have had pets in the homes I have lived in, but can say I have NEVER had a pet of my own. There was Papaya the goldfish that lived for years and years and would eat out of your hand during feeding, there was Tiffy the cat that roamed the cat walk at the WooHouse and was never spade with numerous litters that overrun our space, then my mama had Beleza Quezar Neptune of the Sea (runt of her litter but had crooked overbite) the Portuguese Water Dog who was thrown in the pool too young, but had a heart of gold and the best loving cuddler, and then Coco the Chihuahua who loved to sleep under the covers like a hot potato. These were animals that made an impact in my life. Yes a big orange goldfish touched me since Papaya taught me that even though we was confined to a fix spot in life, he made the best to entertain his owners, swim with style, and share his life with all of us I think for close to 4 years before his garbage disposal demise. Anytime animals pass by my day I welcome them into my space, say hello, send them some recognition, and/or observation. My favorite animal to watch in the wild is the hummingbird, Normally I will discover the bird, sometimes hear, in the corner of my eye and then with great excitement look over to get a quick glimpse and then he/she will be off humming around out of sight. Recently though I have been focusing more on being gentle and subtle with my actions, and have been gifted the opportunity to see hummingbirds in action seeking nectar with as much patient gentleness and peace I have been experiencing. Just realized the power of emotion as we are mirror images of our surroundings. So True with this explanation of the hummingbird, but the real issue is how long can one maintain their desired state of mind. It truly takes focused understanding and awareness of balance to allow yourself to live consistently in a way that you can be surely proud of what you have become. I went to Ireland in 1994 to enjoy Easter Break with my sister in pursuit of getting a tattoo of the Kodiak Bear that stood proud on the chewing tobacco can that I fancied occasionally. When Buddy (red-bearded), the artist, mentioned it would be too difficult to trace the can's surface I went in search of another animal to put on my body forever. I chose the wolf and placed him on my right inner forearm where he still is today, along with his Dutch counterpart on my inner left forearm created in Amsterdam. I am a Dutch Irish lone wolf explorer that thrives and strives to stay alive with pride and bright Light. The wolf is such a part of me with the passion to travel, seek the unknown, stay afloat, round up the family, be mysteriously curious, and enjoy the art of making ends meet. I am a dedicated predator of discovering the TRUE ME, self excavator, and understanding how to truly enable my gifts to the best of my ability. So what is your animal? Which one gives you the power and hope to BE YOU and provides you with the characteristics of living life with vigor and tenacity? I know my love for animals has gifted me a wonderful free outlook on my daily life and an understanding of freedom and dedicated aggression to celebrate the beauty the world has to offer- RVB
