Befriending a Fly…
Aug 29th, 2008 by David Wechsler
If you’ve been paying attention to some of the talk in mainstream and metaphysical circles lately, you may have heard of a growing shift towards more benevolent interactions between humans & other animals groups, i.e. the video on youtube showing the lion being reconnected with those who raised him.
I had a similar experience last night with my daughter… We were both in the bathroom and I noticed a fly on the ground. It wasn’t dead as I originally thought so, I coerced it to walk upon my finger and it did (I was expecting it to fly off). Anyhow for a good 20 minutes, my daughter & I took turns letting the fly walk over both of our hands and talking to it, studying it, etc. After a while, I thought - well maybe it can’t fly - perhaps it’s hurt - so I thanked it for the time we spent together and wished it well, and flipped it into the air. Amazingly, it just flew off right above us, and perched there for the rest of the time, maybe observing us for the rest of the time that we were there - who knows?
