Such a pertinent message noting that it's published at the middle of a pandemic. It seems to me that the domestic dog resigning to its real inheritance of being a wolf, portrays a good overview of times. Mostly the cartoon acknowledges one's ability to be led to #captivity reacting happily ever. Furthermore, I understand #leadership has an interesting role whilst being able to expand one's view. It is fair to say, it can do the opposite as well. Anyhow, this #cartoon also reminded of a talk, I posted on recent #news during the weekend (vide my Instagram account). Moreover, I have been #sharing #thoughts on #Flaco, an eagle owl former resident of #NewYorkZoo kept in captivity there.
What an interesting sequence of events and bear with me, the story gets really interesting. Flaco, translated from Spanish meaning #skinny, was not the case. Eagle owls are called this for being a rapine bird or a bird of prey and having a wingspan of 6-feet, mating for life, being easily comparable to eagles.
So here we go, our Flaco left the zoo to simply decide to be a #newyorker changing address from the zoo to #centralpark a year + ago. It became a #vip being photographed both at night or during the day, stationing at some residents' windows with a piercing look at times. This completely naive bird made a call for freedom and survived for an entire year in one of the most auspicious environments possible. It learned how to feed himself with rodents, insects and whatever was available. It was certainly a sociable bird not feeling intimidated by people, possibly a skill learned in the 13 years prior living in the zoo.
Unfortunately, it was suddenly gone due to a crash to a building last weekend, making many review their own lives. It was if one of our buddy neighbors passed away. The presence is not there anymore. Some even assumed that Flaco was a real new Yorker not mating as it couldn't, by the way, as many residents, one was told.
Reflecting on #captivity, we are called to #challenge #beliefsystems and ability to #adapt whilst being immersed in it. Maybe the real question is, in what instances are you being kept in captivity? Share your comments, ideas and be free to keep in touch.

1moThe New Yorker, Paul Noth’s cartoon brilliantly captures the irony and absurdity of Trump’s diplomatic praise. It highlights how the former president’s remarks often seemed oddly selective, making a pointed comment on the nature of his praise. Noth uses humor to underscore the frustration many felt about Trump’s approach to international relations. This cartoon isn’t just a laugh; it’s a reflection on how politics can sometimes feel detached from the realities many of us experience. By using satire, Noth reminds us of the importance of staying critical and aware of the motivations behind public statements. It’s a clever way of making us think twice about the narratives we hear.
