... me? ... well I do a whole 'eap a dat ... but it's also compulsory to feel some simple stuff ... a basic connection to the spiritual grandeur that is the wide world of creation ... allowing yourself the humility to just be a part of it ...
... this year ... as in every previous year ... a selection of top National Geographic photographs made the rounds ... you may have seen it ... for several decades these guys have been a source of edifying wonderment and mind blowing discovery ... the impossibly superb photography alone justifying the existence of the spearhead magazine ... a portal to other worlds and kingdoms in all their awesome, contradictory glories ...
... the periodical continues to gift me much ... and ... even though my boyhood subscription is long gone I usually flip through back-issues in waiting rooms or pre the pics when they come my way ...
... so here it was ... the predictable smorgasbord of variety, but this time I was struck by a few of the animal images and the human emotions they made me feel, merely by looking ... I collate them here for a New Year re-appraisal based on the fact that each of these photos from the animal kingdom amused my personal world-weariness ... may you be so blessed ...
... with me so far? .... the next one is very cute but not to worry ... I don't intend to kill you with cute ...
... that's the way to beat rush hour ... turtle show some respect! ...
... if turtleman didn't get to you I'd say yours is an impervious heart ... take time to smell the roses ... happiness and joy for the New Year ... 'cept for those who wanna rain on yo parade!
