Always lots of activity down by the pond, writer needs to remember those later - oh yeah - fiction - or - a cry for help - haha.. Wanted to talk about the difference in being one with nature - and one with all that is...-later- there's at least one more - if i remember. because the ecological changes are important - wanna talk about the pond - last post is - i don't know- somewhere(check drafts brainiac - hey - who said that). So - when i went down usually midday - for vitamin d hormone - and some? meditation.Today, the most amazing things were: ok - in over 2 yrs living here, i had not seen or interacted with the cane toads, which proliferate extensively in this couple mi/km area. Being used to them (stepped on one with bare feet-the other night- luckily my bare feet reacted fast - 'dude you people are slow' Last mo - was on evening walk (meeting the wild boar story-sometime) --Going buy the pond i noticed a large amount of toads in the pond - splashing about - often on top of 2 o3 of each other. I stopped =- mesmerised- Being nonvoyueristic by nature - i felt - a little funny - and i guess this might of been the first time of speaking to them as a group - "I'm sorry - i've -i've never seen anything like this". Continuing while watching me wasn't one heroic one hopped out and hopped over onto my sandal ed( we say slippered) foot and hopped on by into the bush. Ok ok - i get the message- Today - after moving one the crayfish from the trap. Oh yeah sorry-yesterday - to prove they eat anything - i put - we say hitchhikers - little seeds that stick on your body and things from the jungle - put them at the water's edge -a younger cray was devouring them -thought it might have been a carcass -saw the first time last week - cept when i killed one a few weeks ago. -(write later with lost lake - 'specially the emancipation of the caged bait frogs episode). So crays are voracious - and i can't judge them for that. - Finally - Today while laying - one toad did a couple hops out of pond and is 1 ft away looking at me. Unfortunately, memory took me to the last time of daytime meeting at the pond. I spoke, making visualized pictures in case he didn't understand english and did understand telepathy, a field that needs study. "Please don't jump on any part of my body. Hi. i just live up the hill and just getting sun. Nice to meet you." "And i'll talk about you and people will hear about you, as a small tear came. He jumped when i put the water on the edge - so he could know - why do animals need to be territorial(aren't most and along with tribalism - our greatest conflicts?). These toads are so mellow, just sitting there as the car comes - maybe living a parallel life- but they are superbadass - like they used come out inthe bee swarm when the hive moved in my old bass drum out back. They like to eat them - they have to evolve to get the nectar from the flower.?- hive living? last week one jumped out of the planter/trap. Later - when moving the cray - i looked - like a horror movie - the cray had no claws. aaaaahh! What kind have mad scientist have i become. After a while today, i thought about that guy that jumped out today( maybe he was wondering about claws) - the tears came again - and a huge smile...
