A rabbit races across Brookside Circle with a furred and pointy-eared pursuer at the tip of its cotton tail. “Cahy-o-teee? Or Lena?”

Nia notices their neighbor and calls to him. “Was that Lena?”

“Yeah — she’s after a bunny. Living her best life.”

The Belgian Malinois returns empty-jawed across the silent Sunday asphalt and leaps feet off the ground after a squirrel only she can see.

A feeling of pure joy holds hands with the trio.

Calliope rests a hand between Loveletterist’s shoulder blades and Thalia gives a gentle push on her abdomen.

“Posture —” Urania infers, “— is being intentional with one’s signals.”

To climb in the canopy I must leave the ground.
And such a decision will determine whether I will live a life of forest vistas, or an existence of dirt and leaves.

Tasty Tidbits from Loveletterist

1.) I found this 4 minute excerpt from America Ferrera's TED talk to be eye opening. "My identity is my superpower."

2.) Synchronously, Mitch Davidowitz wrote about strutting our stuff. The image he connected with the article is worth a click!

Happy Sunday!

Hey Loveletterist! Thanks for the view from the canopy. 😁 I remember reading long ago about animal communities, likely in rainforests, that spend their lives in the forest’s canopy. Considering that most such species are prey for the predators walking the forest floors it made perfect sense!

While I may have been a bit playful to call you a canopy dweller, there was an air today of being in a state of mind (the canopy?) that offered a wholistic perspective of all the interactions.

Connectications? Within the Muse trio, connections with the animal and human world around all ya’ll, and squarely planted in that very moment.

And what a better place to be planted than “now” where the past and future don’t exist! Do I hear a foot pump airing up the paddle board? 😁
