Going back to the zoo re-set my focus to the emotional response to being at the zoo. It raised a lot of questions and I just have this weird feeling that there is something more to what is going on in the zoo than I know right now. Why does my stomach hurt when I see a lot of the animal enclosures? When I see the polar bear in a very fake and small enclosure? When I try to catch the eye of the tiger and don’t? When I go to the wolves and have to leave almost in tears to see the lethargic beings I know are incredible shy and have whole countries as their territory…
It hurts, something is up, and I feel like I have to dig into these emotions.
