And I'm touched that you, too, had similar thoughts about how your parakeet was finally free, but at the greatest price. It's true--we do seem to keep birds and fish and other small animals in captive conditions that are deeply problematic. <BR/><BR/>I can only hope that we gave our pets a good life. I would say that from your thoughts, you are a conscientious person who at least took the time to consider the quality of your pet's life, and as such, took good care of your pet. <BR/><BR/>My sympathies.Major Generalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00122620793544300028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8631742731169003184.post-12530093589787303742008-11-08T19:00:00.000-05:002008-11-08T19:00:00.000-05:00Wow, that was honestly kind of a beautiful fish el...Wow, that was honestly kind of a beautiful fish elegy. Our parakeet died the other day (we had her for 9 years) and I thought some of the same things, how sad it was that she was finally outside with the other birds and free from her cage, except she was buried. thanks for putting it all so eloquently. Fish and birds are kept in a strange and sad captivity that dog and cats don't seem to suffer from in the same way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8631742731169003184.post-76294288337425583212008-10-29T10:31:00.000-04:002008-10-29T10:31:00.000-04:00As you know I’ve been spending a lot of time in co...As you know I’ve been spending a lot of time in contemplation at the interface between rationality and spirituality. I can’t say I’m surprised by how well your poetically intuitive interpretation lines up with my pedestrian inductive understanding, but I am nonetheless impressed and encouraged.Captain Rationalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08832946179896855998noreply@blogger.com
