i frolicked with my kitty kots today and so i thought this quote would be apropos today =0)
I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money
talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I
answer: "I am working at the roots." -
George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)

heh... i didn't even make the zoom one, that was the work of jedi chris
it's a totem constructed by the inuit people i think, but i'm not quite sure what aninimimal it's sposed to be. the cute fuzzy monkey is hiding behind it because it is very shy =)

i have several rolls of pictures of totems since i've been to ALAKSA 5 times, and i can't place the animal cos it's a side shot. they are beautiful works of art, i dunno if i've ever seen a monkey totem =0)

cool =)
i have several masks in my bedroom. one is of the buddha, one from ghana, & two wedding masks from kenya (one is a bigger, earlier replica, handcrafted by the craftsman whom my dad purchased it from there in mombasa. it says "jambo" on the back =))
i have a digeridoo in my room too. i think a lot of the ethnic artifacts such as these are really cool =)

yipes.......i find masks of any sort to be rather scary...like clowns. i'm sure they are pretty but having something staring at me from a wall would not do for me.
digeridoo's are cool sounding, i wish i'd purchased one whilst downunder, they were really inexpensive. =/

my grandparents travel a lot, & sent me & me bro each a dij from downunda a few years ago =)
some of these pieces of art are part of the reason i'm interested in studying a lil bit of anthropology someday 8¦)

i was wondering why anyone would've made a comment like this
here is the reason when mr. george t. angell was alive there were still plenty of species, so perhaps if people would've started to take better care for animals in that time, we wouldn't have so little species left today
