Is evil now in retreat? From Dr.Naomi Wolf at naomiwolf.substack.com:
Yesterday, I walked Loki, our little dog, out of the house in the country where we are spending Thanksgiving.
It was a grey, blustery November day. The turning of time was manifest around us. Our neighbor had hunted and killed a beautiful stag. The animal was hung upside down, for processing, on a cross-bar that our neighbor has erected on his property for just this purpose. The creature looked both majestic and sacrificial, as Loki and I passed by.
A few minutes later, on the road, we paused. Seven gorgeous brown-orange deer, with white tails, leaped across our path. They bounded in perfect time, like music. They paid no attention to us: Loki stared in wonder. On our way back, we saw a lone deer standing still, in a high field. The animal hovered against the yellow-grey of the meadow, its outline visible above the roofline of a white colonial house, as archetypal as a cave drawing.

I felt that the deer — or its universal essence —would still be here in a thousand years, long after the colonial house will have fallen into ruins. Did that living deer know that one of its tribe had been caught up in human plans and was now dead? Did it mourn?
I see them in the last remaining crop field on PM walk, bucks here recently.
Being silly and immature at an advanced age, I shine the spelunker light and wave.
Sometimes through left over food in the field corner and it is always gone when I came through the next time.
Staying Gold is the fountain of youth.
They are thick at Harold the Brain’s acres, walking through the football field sized front yard all the time.
Harmony, balance, are the keys to this world and both are sorely lacking right now.
