Kaloke's  Creations

The greatness of a species can NOT be measured merely by their technologocial advancement in altering the environment to be favorable only to their needs......

The greatness of a species is when they have evolved enough to gain the fortitude and respect towards other entities; therein, fostering and protecting them to flourish........                  ~Kaloke~ 2002

 

We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves.

And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices  we shall never hear.   They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.

………..Henry Beston … 1928
