The sloth doesn’t know

What humans call him

Ignorance is bliss…

Funny how we name everything. And how we think of so much in terms of productivity or lack thereof. I once heard a student give a talk on a recent trip to a rain forest and how his group sat on a log to eat some food. They were quickly inundated by biting or stinging insects ( red ants?) and bemoaned the painful encounter until they realized they were invading the insects home. The sense that we have “dominion” over all living creatures must be reframed so that “ live and let live” becomes our way new attitude and behavior.

Thank you, we will. You too!

We are making butter today from cream. We'll spread it on Ritz crackers and eat it!
