Ribh's D'Coopage

[MaryJanet]

I know almost nothing of modern African history ~ any of it's history is sketchy @ best~ but I'm not a fan of anyone carrying guilt for the sins of the past for one simple fact: all races, all nations, all peoples, @ some point in their history, have committed atrocities against those who are *other*. The fact is ALL peoples can be the pits. Black Africans traded in white slaves for centuries before America was settled by whites. The middle eastern world is still rife with slavery. The Irish were indentured slaves. The Japanese boiled people in oil or flayed them alive. The Persians & Assyrians, the Mongols, the Goths, the Sythians, Russkis & Saxons all had reputations for ferocity & barbarity that is hard to imagine. It is how we, as individuals, choose to act that determines our guilt ~ or lack thereof.

Last week, I was visiting the neighbours when one of their chickens went "missing" and we all piled out of the house to search for her. After about 20 minutes we were talking hawks and at last it occurred to me that I should ask one of the other hens where she was. So I made a gesture and a facial expression with her and she ran immediately to where the missing hen was hiding to lay her egg.

Might've been coincidence but it felt like communication.

The ginger smells do good, doesn't it? I have some growing on the corner outside the property. They are invasive aliens here, but they do smell lovely.

It smells amazing! And I just love the dozens of hummingbird moths that visit them every evening!
