The Secret Dreams of Cats
Felines bring a professional craftsmanship to the art of premeditated slumber. A cat’s truest, deepest sleep is ardent, purposeful, intense.
Just exactly where are these sleep aficionados going when they close their eyes? What is it they’re doing in their dreams?

This message sent to me about a zoo lion rescued during war is a beautiful example of the wisdom that animals gracefully share with humankind.
Wild Horse Request
Would you share with us how America's Wild Horses are faring with the massive roundups by the Bureau of Land Management over the last year(s)? Are they willing to share what, if anything, we can do to support them, outside of advocating for their protection or adoption?
Alligators Remind Us
Many people in the Western world consider themselves as separate from the rest of Nature, human spectators alienated from the whole web of life. They often do not recognize our interdependence with all beings on Earth and that animals, plants, minerals, and all the natural elements have much to teach us about balance and integration of spirit with form.

Are Cats Cruel When They Hunt?
We just came home to find our cat had captured a chipmunk and was torturing her until I got hold of her and returned her outside. Can you please tell us why cats appear to want the pain of capturing and eating a fellow animal to linger? Why do they "play" with the creature? It looks so cruel to us.

Is there any way we can work with them?
