Vantage Point
We climb
slowly, we scurry to the top
For we have
been brought to watch out for all eventualities
For the
space in the tree, allows us to see, from a different vantage point
Some of us
live in the tree, when the days are dark and the nights are long
We are here
to suggest to thee, living in a tree is not so bad
If you
had prepared before the time was right
For in
spite of our small size, we use our eyes, we use our feet
We
complete our preparation by burying things deep
And
although there are many of our species that compete, for the same spaces, the
same trees
Busy
We are here
to suggest to thee, if we look busy when the leaves start to fall, if we look
busy when the leaves start to turn colour, we are
We hear
sounds of cars, but we pay little attention
For our
attention is focused, our need is now
For we
need to proceed to get ready
And as
we get ready, we bring in supplies
For
surprise, surprise, each winter is different, before our eyes
We try
to prepare for each eventuality
For the
need to proceed in this form of reality, is a necessity for our survival
And for
the arrival of the young ones
Place to
Live
We the
Squirrels of the Land want you all to understand, just like you, we too look
for a place to live
Some of
us choose the top of the tree, some of us choose the fork
The more
branches that come together the better
For they
create strength in our need to proceed to create a nest
We request
that if you see this nest, please, please, please, leave it alone
For in the
middle of winter, we are in what you might refer to as, Hibernation Zone
But some of
you may say, hey we see you at our bird feeder, we see you on the Land
Hungry
We Squirrels
want you to understand, we too get hungry, we too need a break
And as you
can anticipate, if we are to find our food sources, there are times we are
inclined to dig deep
Some of
us complete hollows in the ground
That way
my dears, many of our stores are equally found
Need to
Move
You know
we are around by our footprints
Each and
every day one of us tends to display, a need to move, a need to look around
Now some
of you don’t care for our sound, some of you don’t care for our scolding
But our
evidence is purposeful
Same Way
For
although we may raid your feeder, although we may raid your seed bin, we are here to say to you,
there are other species that see us the same way
And we the
Squirrels of the Land want you to understand, upon a hunch we suspect they
are happy we are evident
For when we
are hidden away, when we do not display ourselves, we are here to say, our
predators have a difficult day
They say,
hey we need to go elsewhere
Challenge
We the
Squirrels of the Land want you to understand, many of you attempt to
outsmart us, make our lives difficult
We are here
to say to you we’re up for the challenge; we’re up for a new way of being
For we
don’t see things the same way you do, as in we are problem solvers
If feeding
is a problem one way, we will try another and another
We work
together
Solve It
Some of us
care for others in our species, some of us do not
Some of us
are at the top of the pecking order, others are not
But when we
are brought up with a problem, we try to devise a way to solve it
If one
can’t do it, another will try
And by
and by we learn along the way
And we are
here to say to you, hey we know how to get through that
Try a
different track
Different
Way of Thinking
We the
Squirrels of the Land want you to understand, we enjoy a challenge, we enjoy
a different way of thinking
For when
you think you have solved the problem of us getting in, we will likely find
another way
We are here
to say to you learn from us, what can we tell you
We are
both problem solvers
We are
all The Same
We are
territorial, we are family bound
When you
hear our sound, it has several meanings
Many of
you look at us with distain
And you
suggest we are all the same, we are no different, we will never learn
Learn
Something
But we the
Squirrels of the Land want you to understand, we’ve been here for a while
now we have not left
Perhaps
you will learn something from that
For when
you go up to bat and you use the same old swing, the thing is the
pitcher has figured you out
Change up
You Ways
We the
Squirrels of the Land want you to understand, it’s important for you to
change up your ways
For when
your ways stay the same, they are stuck in a rut
You want
to get out of that rut, for the evidence is everywhere
We would
suggest to you, declare a new plan, declare a new way
For if your
practices stay there will be no trees, there will be no place for us to live
There will
be no Bees and without them many of your memories will fall through a sieve
For you
need Bees, you need trees to live
So, look
to the future, see how your plans fit in
Responsibility
For we the Squirrels
of the Land want you to understand, you too have a responsibility for your
actions
So, we the
Squirrels of the Land want you to understand, you have a responsibility to
change
As we
store our food in the ground, as we nestle in a different tree, we are here to suggest to
thee, challenge is the name of the game
Are you up
to the challenge, or will you continue to do what you’ve always done and
remain the same
Cannot
Afford
We the
Squirrels of the Land want you to understand you cannot afford to remain the
same
For if you
remain the same, we want to explain this in simple terms, you will not
remain
So, look
at the challenge as, not a choice
Rejoice
in how you can learn to change
Ripple
Effect
For each
change no matter how insignificant it may seem, has a Ripple Effect
And each
ripple gains in strength
And at
the length of it the ripples become a wave
The wave
expands across the Waters across the Lands
And you too
start to understand your Ripple Effect made a difference
Riches
So, step up
to the plate, integrate your change, and watch the riches flow
Now as far
as riches go, we are not referring to money, we are referring to health, we
are referring to well being
For without
health and well being, all the riches in the Land we want you to understand, are
irrelevant
Education
We the
Squirrels of the Land want you to understand, if you want an education, if
you want to learn more, open up the door, be outside and observe
For we
have much to teach you
There is no
cost to you, all we ask of you is to sit quietly, and observe
For
those who need to record, record, away
We are here
to say to you we are happy to share what we have learned
And today
is just one, tomorrow is another day and we are here to say, we are
constantly learning, as are you
But at the end
of the day, we are here to say, you have a choice to make
Rearrange
Will you
make a change and rearrange some aspect of your life
We’re
not asking for much
What we are
asking you to do is, for you to be more in touch with the world around you
For
nature has a way of teaching you, things
All you
need to do is to take the time to realize nature has a special rhyme, nature
has a special rhythm
Equilibrium
It’s all
about give and take, it’s all about equilibrium
Some
years there’s too many of one species and not enough of the other
The next
year there is a change to bring about a balance, to bring about a new plan
Some years
many shoots come to the surface and certain animals gobble them up
Other years
very few appear and those certain animals need to leave
Some of
them do not achieve the following year
Tetter
Totter of Life
We are here
to say to you, each year the tetter totter of Life is in play
Where do
you fit in the tetter totter of life
Do you
make a change, or do you stay the same
If trees
continued to produce shoots every single year, it would appear they would
exhaust their stores
And we are
here to suggest to you, when your stores are exhausted, you tend to become
sick
A
healthy planet is what we all need
Rhythm
So, for
each of us to proceed toward a healthy planet, we need to look at the rhythm, look at the rhyme
And be
inclined when we see an overabundance, when we see a lesser, be the Progressor,
as in help to do what needs to be done to create a balance for the following
year
It would
appear you don’t have to do much
But we
are here to suggest to you, you, must always keep in touch with your
surroundings
You need to
get out of your Environmental Bubble that you live in, and proceed to receive
the information that we the Squirrels of the Land are happy to share with you
Declare
your interest by being outside
For you
will only learn the half of it, if you remain inside
You need
a full picture, you need to create a plan
At this
point we believe you all understand
Be the
Land Steward that you are
