Spirit in Freedom’s Cage

P1030332

This Barbary macaque is free to live in Gibraltar after ancestors arrived via pirate ship, at least according to legend.  Though not caged by these bars, ze* is trapped by history in a land far from zir* ancestral home, with a birds-eye view of the life of a very strange species below.  Part of a glorious ecosystem that has partly run amuck, what is ze* feeling and thinking?  What am I feeling and thinking – about the joy, love, fun, fear, suffering, hatred and ecosystem surrounding  us??  What are you feeling and thinking?

*Ze and zir are gender-neutral pronoun.
