Animal of the Month

 Muskrat

So, how often do you get to see a brown furry creature with two really SHARP-looking teeth, that's comfortable swimming, burrowing, climbing, or scrambling for cover? I did the other day on my walk along the Hackensack River.  2006 VV Bright Swan 

The Hackensack River Pathway signage for Muskrat states:  "Built for water life with rich brown waterproof fur, delicate grasping forefeet & webbed hind feet for swimming. They have flattened lateral tails that propel them through the water & even have furred lips for eating underwater."  

 

Ted Andrews did not write about the muskrat in Animal-Speak, however, I found another source that stated: "Identifying animal tracks of the Muskrat indicates resilience, detachment and adaptability. Muskrats have many attributes such as inhabiting both land and water, able to adapt to surroundings, being relatively waterproof, and having a knack for going about their business undetected. Given this, when we cross paths with the Muskrat we are encouraged to tap into our own ingenuity and adaptability when dealing with our present circumstances - realizing that everything has a potential for positive outcome (no matter how bleak appearances may seem)." Source: Identifying Animal Tracks   

 

How about it? Do you have to make a big noise when you're about your business so others will notice you, or can you be more relaxed, more to yourself, more adaptable and "go with the flow?" Have fun!

Quote of the Month    

 

By Rumi

 

Close both eyes to see with the other eye.

 


When you suddenly walk through my door, I feel warm...

Flowers open every night across the sky, a breathing peace, and sudden flame catching.

Through your loving Existence and nonexistence become one.

A nightingale sometimes flies from a garden to sing in the forest.

I will set You on my breath so You will become my life.

The graceful movements come from a pearl somewhere on the ocean floor.

Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in an out.

There is sun within every person...

Half-heartedness doesn't reach into majesty.

Every object, every being, is a jar full of delight.

My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
