Pondering Primate gouache on watercolour.
Reading about all the current research on the effects of psilocybin and how scientists are more convinced daily, it helped towards the advancement of the mind & communication - particularly in primates. It had me pondering.. imagine what they must have thought with that first HIGH enlightening experience. Did they sit, like current day evolved' monkeys (namely US) and watch the grass blades sway in the glistening sunlight or consider quantum physics, perhaps they pondered the secrets of life... probably.
Tools attributed to 'early man' are under scrutiny - perhaps these tools did belong to early apes more advanced that predicted, as monkeys are being studied now using rocks to make such tools to access nuts & such. Have we given these creatures too little credit. I finished reading The Book of HOPE Jane Goodall - it took a while as I found the book - not so hopeful at times, as much as I admire Jane the reality at times can appear dismal. The saddest part was reading how intelligent she understands these creatures to be, yet would witness them stuffed in tiny cages, hardly able to move & in some cases used for painful testing'... they were visibly depressed & suffering. Jane had fought hard to have this cruelty ended & has been successful in educating millions around the world. Thanks Jane.
Within the past couple of decades we've discovered all creatures are smarter than we realized & feel & know more than we previously thought. Psilocybin helps us monkeys to understand other monkeys - to connect us, to feel each others energy.
Sweet Cheeks reminds us daily how intelligent birds are, he's started to fly & when I say: On your cage Sweet Cheeks!
That's where he lands. He's also into snuggling with Storm while watching movies. It takes time, patience, hope & LOVE. Since Sweet Cheeks is flying and exploring and socializing with us, teaching us a few things..
I'm grateful for the company of critters - especially dogs, they teach me much.
I made some bookmarks (below), they look neat poking out of my books. Soon they will be poking out of the earth!
