Here Kitty Kitty..

Today I got to connect with nature and a bit more advancely. Well timed since we just acknowledged Earth Day. I had a link shared with me  https://wildearth.tv/safarilive/  and was asked to check it out. People realise my love for nature and my lockdown energy so it was well received.
I too like to roam feeling like the queen ( with an invisible Corona as in crown being quite relevant given the obvious) but of our concrete jungle. For now though, I'm just a caged cat in our country lockdown.

Well.

I suggest everyone watches a live stream of the Safari drives or fix camera's offering real time footage of different parts of the bush. I saw animals which I am not sure I would be lucky enough to see in person on a Safari. Animals are smart that way. They hide when human's come to view them. You know how we can be. We want to own, capture, hunt and also eat them.

While watching I thought I'm really glad to be a vegetarian. How beautiful those animals are. I'm the only vegetarian from my family of carnivores which I was too until the age of 16years old. However I still do grill a steak, do a fusion chicken curry and stuff fish really well. I have come to understand that nature also has systems however predatory they can seem, there's balance and hunt is part of the game. Only nature seems mostly to leave those systems working well and intact even with parasites.

Unlike human's and our systemic issues. We're not as smart as nature. Or are we?

Anyway here's a short clip from the fixed camera because this little one actually messed with it a bit and I wondered what was going on, till the camera zoomed in on him/her. I also saw other game and found the insights shared by the game ranger on the wild dogs very interesting. I could not help thinking the giraffe ate like a cow as I watched and also thought what's with the male golden spider being really so small next to its female. Argh, us females are bigger beings all round and everywhere or so it seems! :)



A good today (with less work the last two days) ended with a good bath and tranquil spa music. I'm reminded of a hotel lobby's soothing music I experienced in HK and also of a local rasul spa experience.

I can never stop loving nature and I am very, very grateful to the people in my life who value me and who I value regardless.

Signing off with love, lavender and reminiscence.

Sleep when you must!

  To have a company in a forward leaning sector where industrialist nations refer to it as an economic stumulus, the factories of the future and a next space race, can be somewhat extraordinary to say the least. This, together with keeping relevant through fast paced business developments, making real time and well considered decisions while remaining ethically bound to the wings of the vision, leaves you in constant think mode at hours deemed for rest. By who exactly is rest confined to conventional patterns and hours which anyway some of the world's most extraordinary people have shown to reject in sleeping at work desks for a bit or their production floors. And still achieved anyway. My Asian colleagues for weeks would do the rest, work, rest, refresh -all at work- thing.  I'm that person who sleeps only a few hours. I can also can sit for hours thinking and prefers to do so alone and even at the expense of most inviting company or events. I get that my friends in health and

No substitutes for basic health

Today I spotted someone from a distance with a cold sore that stood out as he was walking towards the treadmill. Much of what we know is those things are not a good sign of a immunity and are a form of a hepatitis/STD related, laying dormant to never go away as are with warts on hands etc. What I am saying is that even with advance medical choices, you still must excercise basic care for all else to complement health and wellbeing choices.  Washing of hands is necessary and no vitamins can substitute for that cleanliness if you just think over things like public door handles, elevator buttons, money and all the exchanges of it ..to then to use your hands to apply moisturizer your own face, to cook, to handle kids etc.  It's like the basic principle of wearing hairnets in industrial kitchens and with food handling or preparing of (massive respect to Big Mouth Sandton specifically as not spotted in other top end sushi bars frequented). Some basics apply and always.  Like no 'perf

Precipice Innovation

One has to wonder a few things over. In a single particular order when it comes to Climate Change, this remains paramount to address. For the longest, hardest times of relief and aid to matters of human doing and suffering, still, there was the element of geography and geopolitricks at play.  Without going into depth of what is meant by this, look at where poverty seemingly is by design ..alongside diseases and big name involvements. Yet still it could be considered of a human attribution for these unmet challenges. But when we look at very literal, visible climate related matters - we can't wait to act on these with interventions. If things can even be intervened. World encounters of mass biodiversity destruction like currently seen with Brazil's floods are starking eye openers,  once again. We know food systems are imbalanced and climate demands a complete overhaul in how to address industrial designs and processes. Greed and dominance still at play in whom gets to faster and
