You gotta take a leak.
Here I am locked up in my office in the middle of one of the largest cities of Asia and nature calls. It's not just something a quick bathroom break can fix. I don't care if it is below zero outside. I've got to get some fresh air and smell the pines.
In side is warm and comfy but inside me my bones are screaming to go outside. Right behind our house is the nicest trail but by the time I finish work these days it is already dark outside and a little dangerous to be walking in the trails alone.
I miss the long summer evenings when I could walk outside and here the call of the birds and the squeaking of the chipmunks. When I walk with my son he asks me what they are saying and I answer,
"They are calling your name."
Yes Nature knows your name even before you were born she called you and whether you like it or not, whether you live in the city or the country you are part of this nature. There is a delicate balance that keeps us alive and in our right minds. Nature has a lot to do with that. Nature herself lives in a delicate balance and I would like to keep her pristine.
Seasons change but nature is the same
Nature sheds her autumn coat dropping snowflakes like crystal sugar in my tea.
This white powder covers all that is dark and dirty and shines a ray of hope for a new day and a new year. The joy of children laughing, playing and making angels in this crystal palace of snow. I know this too will pass.
Soon the snow will melt into Spring and rushing waters and singing birds will come again but right now everything seems so quiet. The world is asleep covered in a blanket of December snow. I wouldn't miss this winter delight for the world. Yet the short days draw me in to sleep next to a warm fire or a glowing Netflix series.
How much is lost when nature calls but we don't respond!!
Don't call me crazy when I talk to animals
You talk to your dog so why can't I talk to wild animals? It's better than talking to strangers. As a teenager I spent countless hours with a red fox behind our university grounds. We met up by chance in the woods one afternoon. Do you know the most delightful thing about foxes? They always make time to listen. They don't bark back or growl. They sit still and listen.
The first day I met him I stayed a distance and asked him what he was doing so close to our vineyard. He just slowly walked away. Every day this fox became curious and so did I. He must have wondered why I wasn't frightened and also if I posed a threat to him. I would look forward to the time we meet behind the pond after my physics lab finished in the afternoon. At first I was concerned about how he ate and if he would eat me. Then I noticed in the evening when I went off to dinner he went off to the cornfield. Probably he had himself a tasty meal for there was no lack of rodents there. He kept himself fed well. I think he just enjoyed the company. Unlike any other animal this fox enjoyed just setting still and being silent.
I guess anyone could talk to animals but not many animals bother to listen and not many people can understand what these animals are really trying to say. Truly even the smallest of creatures has some kind of intelligence. This is a miracle within itself. The cicada at the last moments of its life sings a song that no one can truly understand. It is something like "Eloi Eloi Lama Sabathani" and then it fades away.
One of the more silly attempts at talking to animals was a couple years ago on an island of the coast of South Korea. I found a black tailed gull who seemed more interested in flying in circles and coming back to the landing to make a dump than anything else. From a distance it seems that animals are interested in mating and getting food and protecting their territory but really what they do most of the time is play. It's mostly humans who are overly preoccupied with mating, protecting their territory and getting food. I don't think it is natural.
So what are you waiting for?
If nature calls..
Then take a dump.
