I have had a connection with nature since I was 10. It gave me a spiritual connection and understanding of animals, life and religion that I as of yet to find a twin.

I understand animals, and they seem to understand me to quite a degree.

I’ve been able to pick up or approach frightened, injured and wild animals often without them fearing me.

I’ve never been bitten with the exception of a pet that was being rebellious. They are often like people with multiple personalities.

As far as faith, nature taught me.

I haven’t stepped into a church, since 10.

From the age of 15 I have been responsible for my own education, with the exception of current job requirements.

I sometimes wonder if the lack of exposure to social stimulation wasn’t to my benefit.

The answers people look for, are all around you, in nature, and within yourself.

No where else.

Outside sources can only be a guide, not a law.

Ever sense I was little I have always loved the outdoors. I have been camping so many times I have lost count. The best is when I take my horse up to the high country for days at a time. Rain are snow,I did not care as long as I was warm & dry, but that was not always the case. That’s how I want to live the rest of my life. Someone once ask me, why do I love the outdoors so much?. ( the trees,mountains,rivers,lakes the stress of everyday life/work,the wife-[ex). Well sure that was part of it. Until one day it just came to me. “BECAUSE IT IS THE LAST PLACE WERE MAN/WOMAN ARE IN CHARGE”.

I got pointed to the “Lobo” video by the E.T. Seton Institute. As part of my “Stories from the Hiber-Nation” podcast, I recorded the entirety of “Wild Animals I Have Known” in serialized audiobook format. the Seton Institute in particular requested a recording of the first story, “Lobo: King of the Currumpaw,” but I wanted to finish the book. The last episode of the book will be available on Thursday evening, 3/12/2009.

If folks are interested in hearing my rendition, they can find it on my website, http://grizzlysgrowls.com.

Thanks for your interest.

“Nature” sucks. Trees are for logs and rivers are for dams. Anyone looking for bliss in the great outdoors is looking in the wrong direction. True spirituality is only found in the bible.

Birds have been a thing I can not live without, ever since I saw 8 Stellers jays in the backyard when I was 7.I love to teach my peers about birds. I spend all my money on bird books. If I have birds I have a friend.

I grew up in rural Missouri, with grandparents who were both too old and too overprotective to show me very much of nature beyond the woods that lined our field. Nevertheless, I feel a deep call to nature and take to state parks when I can. As a young adult, however, I feel a bit inadequate for having never camped and not feeling able to survive in the wilderness. It’s something I want to work on.

We are called earthlings because our physical selves cosist of all the elements of earth and we have a deep connection with all things on planet earth, and their is a strong spiritual connection through nature that trensends: education, religion, politics, and money. We will connect with ALL when we project love to all we see.

I have been fortunate enough to have had the time to see things many Americans have not as I did not rush into “conventional” expectations (Marriage, kids); in fact I avoided it and took off in my Toyota Corona in 1975 to explore North American. Yukon Territory…another story in itself.

Los humanos invadimos su natural habitad nosotros los estamos molestando a ellos los lovos solo se defienden de los acoso de los humanos. tenemos que recordar que los animales llegaron primero y despues los humanos nos transformamos en seres pensantes aungue no actuemos como tales, algun dia espero que no sea muy tarde alghin nos ilumine con sabiduria divina para poder entender mejor a todos los animales y quiza asi encontremos las soluciones a todo el desequilibro ecologico que hemos creado. un diez de calificacion por la programacion gracias!
