Squirrelly
“The world that used to nurse us now keeps shouting insane instructions. That’s why I ran to the woods.”– Jim Harrison
‘Separate the children, put them in cages.’
‘I really don’t care, do U?’
The birds have the right idea; live in trees and shit on the world
while the squirrels throw acorns at the stupidity below.
I’m with Harrison, I’m going to run off to the woods, at least there I understand the
cruelty in nature.

Terrific ending to that. Not without cruelty, but at least understandable.

I don’t know. Cruelty is a human concept and we are the only ones who practice it. We’re very good at separating children from their mothers. I don’t think squirrels ever do that 🙂

I agree with you for the most part. But the other day when I watched that hawk flying away with a baby mockingbird in its mouth as one of its parents gave chase I thought then that nature can be cruel. It’s survival I know, but I shed a tear for the baby and its parents…

I know, we do get upset. I’ve seen exactly the same scene, watched it with a complete stranger. He said to me ‘Sad, but she has babies that need to eat too.’ Cruelty is when you knowingly cause pain because you get pleasure out of it. Animals never do that.

I’ve always liked this song, so I’m reblogging it. I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to “get out of this place.”
