To Care for Plants and Animals is to Participate in the Circle of Life with Reverence.
Animals are Segregated and Assimilated into Homes and Forced to Eat materical that is not Food, slowly starving them to death. They are caged, injected, tattoos, declawed, debarked, wings clipped and so much more.
These Beings are not Lesser-they are Teachers of Stillness, Presence and Innocence.
They respond not to Words but to Energy.
In tending to them, we learn Responsibility, Connection and Love without condition. Their Needs are simple but Sacred. To nurture them is to say, “I Am Here. I Honor your Life.” This Practice aligns you with Creation and helps you Reclaim your Role as a Caretaker of Earth.

Water a Plant or feed an Animal with Full Presence. Speak to it as a Living Soul. Ask what it needs, and Listen.
