and i was thinking about jon katz and building the cathedral and all that jazz and looking at his blog with the new parakeet house that's kind of like a church in height but no bigger than the old one emptied next to it and still just a cage for animals that would have been free had they not been born and bred in captivity and what if we rescue people or animals from the vanishing wild or countries we war on and plunder? what freedom are the rescuers offering? occupation. watching in a cage. the idea of rescue is fraught with our own lost dreams.
