Our beautiful chooks here supply all the eggs we eat at home and we wondered about keeping a few meat birds too, just standard farm broilers, so chatting about it have found out something that makes me mad and sad. The broiler birds I'm looking for are bred for the meat industry and for meat alone. You can't keep them longer than 6 weeks as they just start dying. Their hearts fail. We've manipulated these birds into meat growth things, they can't live. Isn't that insane.
(and this lovely pic of our chickens is from last year. Right now they're locked up to comply with the Bird Exclusion Zone we're in because of Bird Flu meantime the field next to us has maybe a 1000 wild geese on it - guess they can't read the Exclusion Zone signs ) 🤷♀️
Wisdom doesn't discriminate—it arrives when it's ready, and it's patiently waiting for each of us ❤️

The power of myth and ritual isn't lost in the patient-doctor relationship—it's embodied in the human touch in ways we don't fully understand.

Gangsta rap lyrics based on the Four Noble Truths by GPT, images by me (MR ORANGE)
Yo, gather 'round, I'mma break it down, the Four Noble Truths comin' up from the ground.
🎤 First Truth, life's tough, it's a bumpy ride,
Sufferin' in the hood, can't run, can't hide.
Cravin' for the shiny, but it's never enough,
Chasin' illusions, man, life's rough.
🎤 Second Truth, check it, desire's a thief,
Stealin' yo' peace, bringin' nothin' but grief.
It's the root of the pain, the heartache, the strife,
Got you chasin' shadows, missin' out on life.
🎤 Third Truth, yo, there's a way to the light,
Endin' the sufferin', winnin' the fight.
It's about lettin' go, not clingin' to the fake,
Findin' real joy, that's the path you gotta take.
🎤 Fourth Truth, layin' down the law,
The Eightfold Path, it's the core.
Right view, right...
