In the forest, on a solo camping trip, I said "Hi" to a passing huge wicked looking black shiny highly venomous wasp, and it landed on my face, and walked across my eye, and stayed on my face awhile, preening, then flew away... I see a tarantula, I say a friendly "Hi Your Majesty", and I place my finger to the side of its legs, and it cuddles up to my fingers like a friendly kitten... I do the same with rattle snakes.. namely Mississauga rattlers and diamond backs.. they are all as friendly as kittens to me... I picked up an absolutely huge bullfrog, and raised it to my shoulder, and when it was close to my face she rubbed her face on mine just like a cat rubs against your ankle... I set her on my shoulder, supporting her front legs with a hand, and we went for a tour in the forest, me turning every way she looked... They feel my love for them, and we are one... The only place on the planet I don't find love, is from my own species...
Bottom line: Treat the small life with love and respect, and it will treat you the same... Treat the little things with kindness, and the big things will treat you with kindness... All your fears have been taught to you by this culture... Break away from the cultural mass-insanity... Get into love and respect...
