Animal Absence: Flying Fox

This year, due to summer droughts in Australia, flying foxes have died in mass (you can read more on this at https://phys.org/news/2019-09-starving-death-australia-drought.html or at https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2020/01/flying-foxes-are-dying-en-masse-in-australias-extreme-heat/).
Now, during the wildfires, many thousands of them have been asphyxiated or burnt.

Animal Absences

Today I cannot talk about "animal presences". This morning I read that a billion animals have died in Australia's wildfires. I'm very sad. I really hope that politicians stop denying that climate change is a fact.

Animal Presences by James Hillman

A beautiful quotation from James Hillman's book Animal Presences.

Onça Canguçú (Black Jaguar)

Macaw Ara Guacamayo

Many thanks to Danit Treubig for her beautiful song "Guacamayo", which inspired this illustration. 
For archaic wisdom, external reality reflects the inner world and vice-versa; thus, the colourful macaw leads us inwards to our heart (or Self) and helps us reconnect with our inner Beauty.

Rebirth & Transformation

I wish you all a year of rebirth and transformation!
