A statement from Smokey.
I have observed humans for many years.
Possibly too many.
One thing continues to puzzle me.
You appear to believe that your worth is somehow connected to how busy you are.
This seems exhausting.
Consider the following:
I have accomplished very little today.
And yet I remain magnificent.
The birds were observed.
Several naps were conducted.
A chair was successfully occupied.
A soup was supervised.
These are meaningful contributions.
Meanwhile, many humans seem determined to transform every pleasant moment into a project.
The flowers are blooming.
The fireflies are glowing.
The tea is steeping.
Perhaps simply witnessing these things is sufficient.
I recommend fewer deadlines and additional blankets.
Thank you for attending my presentation.
