“No individual is self-sufficient; the individual can only exist in an environmental field. The individual is inevitably, at every moment, a part of some field. His behaviour is a function of the total field, which includes both him and his environment. the neglect of the total field, makes problems out of situations which are in reality indivisible. There is no sight without something to be seen. Nor is anything seen if there is no eye to see it. Yet by splitting experience into inside and outside in this way, and then dealing with the abstractions- as if they were experiential realities, scientists had to find some explanation of each but the environment and the organism stand in a relationship of mutuality�

when the sirens finally faded, darkness had swallowed the
car and the wild. The silent stars were spared by the night, and the man’s deep breaths were the only sounds
above the hum of the engine and the thuds from the rear of the car as it glided over smooth fluff and ice. The thuds were rhythmic but did not match the life of the car or the road; they were strange noises that echoed

The man looked at the road in front of him: it was
winding and steep, and the end was either near or far. He lifted his right foot, it too trembled with the
rest of his body. The car rolled to a stop in the snow at the top of a hill as the man rested his foot and hands and eyes, but the thuds continued, always louder. When into seat

struggling against the man’s grip. The car tilted and
danced to the drumming from the rear as the thuds rose and rose. Finally the man loosened his tired, trembling fingers one by one, and whispered as he closed his eyes.
The rear of the car swerved from right to left and back again, until the car made a cross with the road. Then the beams of light from the car’s head faced the darkness behind for moments, before the car flipped. It tumbled, over the edge of the road and down the side
of the hill, leaving a streak of broken trees, rocks,
and snow. The wreckage stopped at the bottom of a deep valley still hidden from the sight of the earliest stars,
and the head lights blinked once, twice, along with the man’s eyes, before they both faded into the night.
Thuds from the back of the car again broke the silence, relentless, as cracks began to appear along the edges
of the trunk door. Three final sounds broke through to open the trunk, and a boy emerged. He looked upwards,
where the man once gazed, as the valley began to see its first star of the night. Inside the car, the man’s
foot lay still over the gas pedal, joined to a heap climb up the hill, towards the sirens that came back.

I grew up in a household where we prayed to religious figures or icons to harness a power these saints we known to be the patron for. Whether it be healing or strength or protection we looked to these figures to help us through our struggle. From a young age I found this to be strange, not truly believing that these figures would magically provide what I needed. I found what I was looking for though through my love of animals. I loved observing them, seeing how they were in nature, and how we could learn lessons from their very presence. Then I had Ravi. A dog that I relied on for kindness, love, healing. He, among all living creatures, was my patron saint of love who gave me strength, protected me, guided me through dark times.

Well, here it is. This one was tough for me so in the end it became a sort of hodge podge of many ideas that didn’t quite come together but somehow shown together all at once became connected. It feels unfinished but I wanted to put something out there into the world. Thanks for allowing me to do that btw. Rob sends his love.
