Tagaytay Zoo--
ostrich and sparrow
eat together


Last week, I visited a zoo in Tagaytay City, south of Metro-Manila, Philippines. It was lunch time, and in the ostrich's cage, the big bird was having lunch with sparrows. I think we human beings should learn how to live and share resources together in this planet, as well as live harmoniously with nature. Increasingly, the earth is getting crowded, a condition which quite inevitably leads to poverty, spread of diseases, and war. Unless, we recognize, appreciate and protect the interconnectedness of all living and nonliving things, as well as among nations big and small, the only living planet we know will eventually become worse than a bird's cage.
