Is your heart tired too? Come, I hold your hand and we can quietly enjoy the autumn winds and the soft rain.

My work is finished. I want to rest and think of beautiful things until I fall asleep.

I will think of children in swings, smiles soft like flowers, loved ones that are safe and happy, birds flying to warmer homes and giggles of joyful free women playing by the river. I will think about trees growing so strong, butterflies emerging from cocoons, people sharing food, a couple watching sunset...

What will you think about?

I'll think of camping on a rainy day. Listening to the rain on the tent and watching it through the open flap.

@Lugwho This sounds like a heaven until a bear decides they want a sammich with bacon.
Actually I can see how that would be nice too. Bears are cute wild beings. They are misunderstood and being demonized on TikTok.
They just want company.

@Miram We dont have bears, or any wildlife really, to worry about.

@Lugwho what happened to wild life?

Lugwho · 61-69, M

@Miram Extinct hundreds of years ago, due to loss of habitat and hunting. Bears have been extinct for over 1,000 years, maybe as long ago as bronze age.

@Lugwho Our military brings animals to the forests , to both keep the forests inhabited and probably preserve their numbers.
Maybe they should do the same over there. Find species that can thrive. But first create solid plan because you don't want to mess up the balance.

I like animals.

@Miram They are starting to reintroduce some species. Beavers have been quite succesful in some small areas, wild boar are getting to be a nuisance in some parts and there is talk of reintroducing wolves in Scotland. The lack of forests is a bit of an issue. I think UK is one if the least forested countries in Europe, and a large amount of what we do have is confers planted as a tax dodge.
