My heart dropped when I read the nest was gone. <br />I cannot speak for humanity, only myself. Judi and I tried hard to minimize our impact on the life around us, and help out when we can (the mad dashes to grab turtles crossing a busy highway, translocating insects to outside instead of killing them, for example). Judi had a bird family being raised in the bathroom vent at her studio this spring. She simply disabled the switch for the fan and is waiting until she is sure they have fledged before having anything done to remove the nest. There has to be room for everyone to live.<br />I do think that most religions are human centric, and that is used as an excuse to think of the rest of life as 'less than' or worse yet, 'here to serve us.' I think of all of life as my brothers and sisters (although I struggle, especially hard this year, with bonding with humanity).<br /><br />VirginiaVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451139904242764009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-82667619396032854512011-06-21T14:34:12.948-07:002011-06-21T14:34:12.948-07:00What a terrible shame.

But worse, I fear it was done because someone found it "entertaining" to act destructively towards these creatures.sunflowerkat https://www.blogger.com/profile/11643564072168293568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-82630932108664389462011-06-21T11:38:55.642-07:002011-06-21T11:38:55.642-07:00H E double toothpicks.

Why must we be so out of step with the universe ALL the time?JACKIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883028058826030899noreply@blogger.com
