I think what she was talking about was "floating". The world is a large body of water with muck lurking just beneath its surface (not unlike the Gulf, come to think of it). We float on the water and create a sort of happiness for ourselves, by enjoying the sparkling sun on the water, the birds overhead, the gentle breezes, the sounds of the waves and it's all lovely. But something is always there to pull you under. Think of the horrible, relentless plight of our meat sows, locked in crates, still making nesting movements with their sensitive snouts. Think of dairy cows lumbering around on sore feet, their babies snatched at birth. Not to mention the general plight of most human existence.<br /><br />Marzie immerses herself in the horror of the world on a daily basis to enlighten us, to educate us, and make us aware. And she does this while being pulled under by other heavy stones of her own life. <br /><br />Who is a saint? I say our own Pretty Pan.TLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601101557165069240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764224575243520295.post-9438411759268840652010-09-25T21:52:42.006-04:002010-09-25T21:52:42.006-04:00Thanks Uzza.
