It’s a lovely feeling to bring your animals to novel locations. It’s really gratifying to watch my little milk cow browse on Willow and Alder and medicate with mugwort. My buffalo can finally banish the flies and find relief in the isolated spring fed pools in the stream.
It’s amazing to watch aquatic tree roots reach up to scrub the nutrients from the disturbed water and make a buffalo’s muddy splashing joy into more tree leaves and limbs.
Being at the nexus point of these interactions gives human life so much meaning.
Drinking the leaves and spring water of a late summer stream as frothy white milk the next day is a real life affirming feeling.

Converting fear of fire into a tended landscape that invites more life and makes a persons heart settle into peace is natures true metabolism at work.
