[quote:Earth Crawler:MV80NzU3NzgxXzg2OTk3Mzg5Xzk5OUZEREJB] I'm still thinking about this.... I'm remembering the time Oscar flew off her cage and landed near Henry, our small terrier dog. He grabbed her in his mouth, but when I yelled at him he let her go. I was so proud of him for overcoming his terrier instincts in that moment. They are bred to hunt small prey and the instinct is strong in them. He was such a sweet boy. Oscar was completely fine and didn't seem to be injured at all... There was another time (moving away from bird stories) when our rabbit was hanging out with us in the living room and Henry grabbed his stuffed animal toy (that looked a lot like the rabbit in size and coloring) and began shaking it while staring at the rabbit with a clear message (that seemed to contain some humor, but still...) "this is what I could do to you".... and the rabbit got pissed and charged him.... it stopped Henry in his tracks.... in that case I was impressed with the intensity of the rabbit's anger and the strength of his message to "stop that shit right now!" funny, complex little animals....and so much tragedy surrounding them... I have stories, too, that weigh on me and the emotions come back in waves sometimes.... I look forward to reading more later... [/quote]

Losing It
I respond to losing it with a ratcheting rise of rage
As I ponder the precarious path if I turn the page.
I do savor the sensibility of the silent sage
And yet I gather the grip on a glorious gauge.
A quest lies waiting for us in the setting sun,
Shall we stand firm or will we turn and run?
If your lantern is not at the ready to light the way
The evil enemy eviscerates everything and makes you pay.
The seeds of nature lie in wait with a need
They require disciplined duty to nourish the deed.
Shall we succeed or will we fail at this mission?
Pray that we suffer not a great mortal attrition.
There is no security in clinging to the Status Quo.
We must desperately work against the raging flow,
For if we do not with fervor fight for choosing it
I can without doubt confirm that we will all be losing it.
