This is picture book material that would sell many, many copies, my friend.
You are my hero. I can only wish that my physical self was as compassionate as my spiritual self. The latter wants all animals to live happily, vermin and pests included. The former unwillingly swats at the mere touch of a rat--or a cockroach, or an innocent gecko.
Now you can say that your head is both a part of your body and a sanctuary.
Bembo's face is priceless, heheh.
... and yes, I understand the inner conflict between love for all living things and an instinctive ... or I don't know, maybe socially induced repulsion we humans feel when it comes to some species. I felt that way towards the spiders. I liked them, I always liked their colors and interesting behavior, but there was something disturbing in their shape
Now after photographing them and insects for years, I somehow naturally overcame that repullsion. When I don't see them as little crawling things from a distance but see them up close through the macro lens - "in the eyes" so to speak, I perceive them very differently.
Now I'm OK with a spider crawling on my hand, a decade ago I would panic.
Ok. I need to buy a good camera and start photographing all kinds of creatures. I think it's OK to fear the poisonous ones,for example. But we all live here.
Thank you so much for liking and respecting animals ❤️
