Mountain lions entering neighborhoods remind us that humans are the true intruders, having encroached upon natural habitats. This expansion leads to wildlife being pushed to the fringes of society. To coexist peacefully, we must educate ourselves about these creatures and reassess our relationship with nature. Importantly, we should advocate for respect and a lifestyle that supports coexistence with wildlife, promoting a harmonious approach toward nature. Additionally, personal anecdotes highlighted moments of kindness and memories tied to beloved figures in sports, emphasizing community and nostalgia.
As the East Bay's residents face the thrill and perhaps a dash of terror of a mountain lion wandering into their neighborhood, it's worth reflecting on who the real intruders are: us. We humans have encroached upon these majestic creatures' habitats, disregarding their right to roam freely while we burden our planet with pollution.
Rather than merely advising neighbors to stay alert for wandering lions, we should be educating ourselves on how to coexist with them, and that begins by reevaluating our relationship with nature. Let's step back, respect nature and embrace a lifestyle that champions coexistence.
I brought my little brother David, holding his Special Olympics autograph book, to a game. We sat front row, over the door to the clubhouse. Before gametime, David (with Down's Syndrome) got autographs from the players. When the game started, Stan Javier lingered.
Parker kinda bulled past him, saying, Hey, Stan, you shouldn't do that. David and I sat back in the glow of a very good day. Minutes passed, and out of nowhere, a bat stood up in front of us.
