It’s hard to hurt things.
Isn’t it.
I’m afraid of spiders but I still scoop them cold
into my hands & let them free. Where’s the church
for things like this.

We should all be going there. God must be waiting.
Let’s hope so.
Won’t show up until we are ALL there.
Well, many are working on it.
I think if we could all get a bit more ‘local’ in our thinking, e.g., be kind to those in our immediate orbit, whatever their persuasion, it might have a positive ripple effect.
Yes…pay it forward.
it is found deep inside.
LIKE that! No, LOVE that.
The sacred quality of a good soul..
LOVE that.
Nature is my church. I learn so much in its presence. 🙏🏻
Inspired by your comment. And all the others up and down in this cue. Love that this little poem clip has inspired you and them all. Love that.
Dear David
All creatures belong to God’s creation – there is only one church: the Church of God, the religion of God for the whole mankind, for the whole creatures. Anmimals, insects, birds, plants and wherever is the life impulse – are our brothers and sister in a lower form, comparable with a bulb: humans have let say 100 watt, maybe animals 60 watts, plants maybe even less and the like – the more the consciousness – the more watt for this example. Nothing else exists than God – so also spiders and all others creature are part of God…
Thanks for sharing, dear David

Thank you for sharing Didi. If mankind could only treat the creatures as you suggest, they are sacred too.
Yes, David, it is time that mankind awakes…
All the best
Didi
Yes, to rescuing spiders, and the vulnerable. I’m not sure about catching them bare-handed. Especially the big fast ones with wobbly feelers.
Smiling. I’m with you!
I am not a religious one, but I do believe in God! These poetic lines are so beautiful, so touching… Impressed me so much. Thank you dear Dave, love, nia
Same here Nia. I was moved by these lines and this poet. So great.
Beautifully captured. We, at times, forget that this Earth belongs to all of us. We have to coexist along with all the plants and animals. A perfect example of privilege becoming a prerogative!
Yes. And thanks for sharing…
Reblogged this on Little by little… and commented:

Do no harm is the best dogma.
It is near… always. We have to slow down and feel – heart and gut feelings.
Belly feelings. Yes!
