Is the souls...Mary Oliver's questions are deep. Is the souls solid like iron or fragile as in the beak of a owl. I thought of my soul as energy, electrifying energy, poof gone into the universe upon death. I want to believe that all animals have a soul. I think domesticated animals sense fears, anxiety, etc but that may be drawn off of the human feeling. Pet owners experience pets coming to them in times of anxiety etc.The wild animals know fear when the hunters shell is loosed. The smell of blood heightens their senses to run. Personally I do not think the soul has any specific shape, it is a power. As for vegetation....it also has some connecting vibrating energy that works in the universe and connects all living things together, emitting an energy into the universe. Rocks.....there are claims certain rocks have healing powers so again, it is all connected one to the other, truly inclusive, person, animal, vegetation, and rock. Jmo. And this poem leaves we pondering the questions it asks.

I'm with you on this heaven thing. No nature would be hell for me. As for souls, I think animals and even plants have one. Most people with pets understand that one. I like this poem. It raise some of the questions that made me know most religions were not for me. I still look around for me and you.... when I sit with nature, too.Sallynoreply@blogger.com
