Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 The picture that goes with this is quite amazing, but since will strip attachments, i'm posting it to my art site: http://www.maxdashu.net/prairiedog.html " I watched prairie dogs every day, rise before the sun, stand with their paws pressed together facing the rising sun in total stillness for up to 30 minutes, " says Williams. " And then I watched them at the end of the day take that same gesture 30 minutes before the sun goes down they would press their palms together in perfect stillness. I don't mean to anthropomorphize, but when you look at a creature that has survived over the millennium begin and end each day in that kind of stance, it causes one to think about one's own life and speed and rapidity in which we live. " From Finding Beauty In A Broken World by Terry Tempest Williams, an environmentalist committed to showing man's impact on the land. -- Max Dashu Suppressed Histories Archives http://www.suppressedhistories.net New: Women's Power DVD http://www.suppressedhistories.net/womenspowerdvd.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
