A species other than our own

We are all part of the one, continuous chain - life; one species no less important or more important than the next.

We all share the air we breathe, the water we drink and Mother Earth who shares her sustenance with us. Our lives are all finite, some more quickly than others, our time is equally as precious as the lives we choose to create.

Each species is bound by a unique language, culture, belief system that bonds a community whether you understand it or not - whether you speak it or not - whether it is human, animal, plant or not.

Yet, there is something ‘we’ all have in common and that is the circle of life; destroy that precious chain and we all suffer.

Find time for a species other than your own, learn its needs - there are no wants, no desires. It does not come calling to kill, destroy or possess you; it gives you love, pleasure or assists you through your life hood journey.

Repaying that kindness with equal reciprocity, helping out that species when the sea of life becomes turbulent is the least we can do.
