  • did you ever wonder it would be like? you know, to shed this human skin...to run through the forests, be-furred and be-clawed. to stalk to hunt to feel the wind in your fur...to smell the sultry scent of prey on the wind...to taste the blood fresh in your mouth...to feel the life struggles ending by your hand...


    or to soar high above in the sea of the sky...wind stroking your feather...riding a thermal...feeling like your feet never would have to touch the ground...


    or to dive deep in the water...into a world only of sound...not scent...to chase the fish to dig through the silt and find the oysters...to race with the waves and divedivedive all the way into the deep just for the sheer pleasure of feeling the water caressing your body...

    somedays, sometimes i do
    especially in the fall, when the smell of the wild is so strong in the air that even my nose can smell it. to run to hide to be a part of it...instead of standing like we humans do, away and separate. separated by walls, by clothes, by jobs, by cars, by our brains...


    would i give it up though? my shower, my hot water, my heat. my chocolate, my brain, my thinking, my reading my apartment, my comforts...just to feel...I guess to feel like I belong. Spiritually...a part of this world, to enter into the cycles of life...we don't really, you know. we humans...we've separated ourselves so much...so many people don't see cows, never have smelt a chicken...wouldn't know how to farm, how to weed...let alone how to hunt, to track, to stalk, to gather...


    what would you want?


    I don't know...maybe I'm crazy...but sometimes, somedays...I'd really like to try.

  • I wonder that sometimes.  Sometimes I think it would be nice.  Too bad we can't just switch back and forth at will (I know, that's a very weird thought, too) LOL... but yeah, I wonder.

  • I wish I wasn't human ALL the time. 

  • Living in a place where the only jungle around is made of concrete, I feel like this all the time.

  • Yup. I've wished that before. Seems like animals are more ALIVE than we are, in strange ways...

  • I have always wanted to be a bird of prey. Like a falcon.

  • oh, be-furred and be-clawed. I like that!
