El mundo de los animales, no lo entienden. La gente no entiende a los animales. Estan desprotegidos todos los animales. De repente, me toco el espiritu de los animales y comencé a adoptar animalitas. A ver a todos animales. De hecho, una pregunta. ¿Cuantos pajaros ven muertos? Poquitos. Saben por que? Ellos trascienden. La mayoria de los pajaritos trascienden. Muy pocos, sí, mueren por accidentes por los gatos, los perros. Muy pocos. Pero la mayoria de los pajaros trascienden. Pasa. Todos los animales tienen esa oportunidad, incluso los arboles, nosotros mismos. Todo el ser viviente, tiene esa oportunidad de trascender. Pero, los más desprotegidos son perros, gatos, animales con los que interactuamos. Mi manera de dar gracias al espiritu, y como pongo mi granito de arena es ayudando a los animales.
The world of animals, they don’t understand it. People don’t understand animals. They are abandoning all the animals. Suddenly, I was touched by the spirits of the animals and began to adopt them. To see all the animals. A question – how many dead birds have you seen? Very few. Do you know why? They move on. The majority of birds move on. Very few, yes, die because of accidents, because of cats, dogs. Very few. But the majority of birds move on. It happens. Every animal has this opportunity, including trees, ourselves. Every living thing has this opportunity to move on. But the ones who are abandoned the most are dogs, cats, animals who we interact with. My way of giving thanks to the spirit, as small as a grain of sand, is to help the animals.
