“CAT-CHING A BEE”

Little cat “Mittens Miaow” was the sweetest kitten you could meet. She would gaze in wonder for hours at the spectacular flowers which surrounded her & watch the lively insects & birds with awe. One day a giant, bumbling Bee was buzzing around her & she thought “I would love to hold this magnificent creature!” She tried to catch the Bee so she could feel the buzzing vibration of its little body in her paw but the Bee thought she was trying to swipe him. She sang to the Bee “ Dear Bee I am not trying to hurt you, I am just marvelling at your particular kind of beauty!”. The Bee turned to look at her & could see she was a special kitten with great empathy & kindness. So he alighted on her paw. Her whole paw tickled with the buzzing as she held him gently. They both laughed & knew that this had been a treasured moment of connection, for both of them. 

“BABY TIGER”

Baby Tiger was a very cheeky little character. He was always causing mischief because he was a FREE SPIRIT & did not fit into any mould. Whenever he heard his Mum calling him “GERVAS!!!!!!” He knew he was in trouble AGAIN! He would look up to the Sky with a somewhat guilty look & always get away with it because he was so adorable! The true meaning of Gervas was ‘Spear’ but funnily enough it also meant “A person with full of knowledge, right judgement and good decision making” which ironically did not describe Gervas at all! In the meantime Gervas ran around being a Scallywag, which even the Bees knew & would give him disapproving looks! Baby Tiger was truly a rule breaker!

“THE BABY WOLF”

This Baby Wolf or Wolf Pup is called “Tala” meaning “Wolf” in Native American Sioux language. Tala came into the World with the gift of sound & everywhere she goes she howls. On the flower mound she is howling to the Moon & asking it to shine as brightly as it chooses. As she is so deeply entwined with the cycles of nature she is often found surrounded by multi-coloured & vibrant flowers. Tala also attracts golden winged butterflies which not only hover around her but even land on her nose! She has an innocent wonderment which honours the full beauty of nature. Her howling call can be heard from long distances. It is carried with the wind & into the heart of every listener.

“THE HAPPY WHALE”

There was once a Whale who was known far & wide as THE HAPPY WHALE. He would swim around the Oceans with a characteristic happy smile & a sense of joy, that few could emulate! His fountain of water was the grandest fountain of all. The sun would always shine, surrounding him. His sonic booming song would ring a sound of comfort & cheer to all the teeming life within the water. Fish would swarm around him & dolphins would play & dance just to be in his presence. All Whales are special however there was an extra X factor when it came to THE HAPPY WHALE. Even Marine Biologists who came to study his behaviour would feel so uplifted that they could not help smile & sing inwardly when they were near to him. It was even said that stories were told in distant lands, of the great privilege of meeting “THE HAPPY WHALE”.

“THEO THE TURTLE”

Theo the Turtle was as old as the hills & nearly as wise. He was named after the famous Greek Philosopher “Theophrastus” who was a close colleague of Aristotle. Theo spent his days gently floating through the ocean with a dreamy gaze as he reflected on the World & especially his domain – the Ocean. He would think of ways to protect the Marine environment & all the sea creatures who were his friends & family. Whenever he saw pollution drifting by he would always collect it, finding creative & efficient ways for it’s disposal. His dream was a clean & pristine home where he would no longer have to be the Guardian of the Ocean. Where all the creatures could swim without fear of being caught in plastic bags or assorted Human rubbish!

“LOVECATS”

The 3 Lovecats came into the World with the Mission to spread love. The little Chartreuse coloured cat was always asking the question “Why is there not more love in the World?” It perplexed him. He did not understand the lack of love when it was so easy for him to be kind & loving. The older Lovecats shook their heads & leaned in closer with their wise ways & purred so he would feel the vibration of their warmth. He felt protected & embraced. The three of them were a great team! The Lovecats were an example to the Earth of unconditional love & how to create a better World.

“THE BALANCING ELEPHANT”

“The Balancing Elephant” was no ordinary Elephant. No indeed! She was multi skilled. She could balance on her big striped ball while at the same time showering the nearby spectators in a fountain of cool water. She smiled with glee as she watched the children laugh & giggle at her special Show. She loved to perform. It was her gift to the World. She could juggle small balls & had a little striped stool she could sit on with her huge elephant bottom without even falling off! It was quite an achievement. She was not called The Balancing Elephant for nothing!  People came from far afield, to watch her colourful performances. It took them straight back to their childhood days. It was a thing of wonder, to see the sight of such a large & beautiful animal, mastering so many rare & demanding circus skills.
