Zippiknits Sometimes

A dilemma has arisen in my heart.  Is my life purpose to create beautiful things, or to keep tilting at windmills?  My heart tells me that if I don't keep making things that delight the inner eye, it might be fatal.  But my heart tells me the little animals and plants, the forgotten earthlings, cannot wait either.   

This magazine comes bi-monthly, and I read it from cover to cover. 

A few days before receiving this issue of "AllAnimals",  I had a dream.  In the dream I was walking slowly along the sidewalk that leads to Cowles Mountain.  It's a wide and newish sidewalk along a four lane road.

I came to an odd place in the road, and while looking down, I saw a patch of black top about the size of a dining room table top, and on it were small animals - a fox, a mere cat, some mice, and some prairie dogs, all looking up at me, and all soaking wet.  Behind them were small plants, sort of a miniature forest or grassland.  I sat down on the curb and took the animals into my arms, onto my lap, and started trying to "hear" the implicit pleadings that were in all of their eyes.   The forest/grasslands area was covered with muck! 

Then this bi monthy issue of AllAnimals came in the mail.  I'd say that it's sort of an awakening.  It's an awakening to something that I could really help out with in some way.  

As the very rich give each other parties and gifts, and plaster each other with dollar bills, it would be a quiet place to get away from all that trumpeting and posturing of Chambers of Commerce, and Political slush funds, and Corporate purchases of elections.  This would be a quiet place, and one where a person could really help out the earth and the "other earthlings" that get little space in the minds and hearts of most.  The press doesn't have much time for these tiny creatures, but they are important to the whole web of life.

If I don't talk much for awhile, I'm figuring out how to help.

Peace and Love!  Walk with Beauty all around you!
