Our Wild World

Dale and I began a conversation on Facebook about the emotional lives of animals. Dale’s critters are both his passion and his work. Dale’s journey toward deeper spirituality and connection to pantheism, his newfound oneness with all things natural has become deeply embedded in his lifestyle, thus he found himself facing a crisis of conscience - In keeping his therapeutic animals caged, he asked himself, “What can I possibly give them that would match their lives in the wild?, And what could he do about it? Today’s conversation began as an intimate one-to-one heartfelt dialogue between us. As we delved deeper, we began to feel that in recording it we could work through it and provide this opportunity to share our thoughts with others who may facing similar conflicts of self, and find themselves asking the same questions- and here, perhaps find some answers, too.
