Crocodili

"Crocodili" I swim in your holy water basic rules for survival shed the skin like a baptism immersed in saltwater the lower vibration lifted removed from that prehistoric place the dermabrasian stings, raw, we walk out together new creatures into fresh certainty soft thuds clawed suckling on uncertain shores the feelings begin solitary, rapturous natural selection resurfacing singular in plurality (LadyLabyrinth / 2023)

I enjoyed your "Crocodili" write. Many animals now live in our world as pets. I have seen this water/land animal and would not want one as a pet. Have a blessed day/weekend................

As the Poles shift, the Equator moves. Our world is out of balance, in many ways. Signs of Orcas recently swimming into warmer Queensland waters (Stradbroke Island) in Australia, where they've never been seen before and recently saltwater crocodiles journeying far south from Australia's Tropical North into southern waters (sighted recently Stradbroke Island), where they've never been seen before, and reports of saltwater crocodiles seen on the mainland close to Brisbane (Wellington Point), indicates to even a layman, something ain't right. Birds falling from the sky and animals walking in circles fixated as if in a trance for days/weeks, throw in mass deaths of other animals, like reindeer in Norway, whales and dolphins (stranded dry on beaches), many reports of fish and other sea creatures lying dead on beaches, something ain't right. The world turns and we sleep. The world is regenerating, re-evolution in some way or another. Revolution, in some way or another.

"REGENERATING - I don’t think you’re simply tired, I think you’re regenerating. Like all of mother nature’s children in winter, your instinct is to curl up, hunker down and reset. You’re not less.

You’re simply in tune with the Sun.

Lady Labyrinth

And as the dark days begin to wane, your inner wild fortifies and evolves, bolstered and renewed, cocoon-style. Ready for the new beginnings, ready for the reinvent. Ready. Simply ready.

So, let yourself be led down the rabbit hole, when the weariness washes over and your body begs to rest. I don’t think you’re simply tired. I think you’re regenerating." Donna Ashworth

"Another important evolutionary theorist of the same period was the Russian geographer and prominent anarchist Pyotr Kropotkin who, in his book Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution (1902), advocated a conception of Darwinism counter to that of Huxley.

His conception was centred around what he saw as the widespread use of co-operation as a survival mechanism in human societies and animals. He used biological and sociological arguments in an attempt to show that the main factor in facilitating evolution is cooperation between individuals in free-associated societies and groups.

This was in order to counteract the conception of fierce competition as the core of evolution, which provided a rationalization for the dominant political, economic and social theories of the time; and the prevalent interpretations of Darwinism, such as those by Huxley, who is targeted as an opponent by Kropotkin. Kropotkin's conception of Darwinism could be summed up by the following quote:

"In the animal world we have seen that the vast majority of species live in societies, and that they find in association the best arms for the struggle for life: understood, of course, in its wide Darwinian sense—not as a struggle for the sheer means of existence, but as a struggle against all natural conditions unfavourable to the species.

Lady Labyrinth

The animal species, in which individual struggle has been reduced to its narrowest limits, and the practice of mutual aid has attained the greatest development, are invariably the most numerous, the most prosperous, and the most open to further progress. The mutual protection which is obtained in this case, the possibility of attaining old age and of accumulating experience, the higher intellectual development, and the further growth of sociable habits, secure the maintenance of the species, its extension, and its further progressive evolution. The unsociable species, on the contrary, are doomed to decay."

"These are the basic tenets of evolution by natural selection as defined by Darwin: [1] More individuals are produced each generation than can survive. [2] Phenotypic variation exists among individuals and the variation is heritable. [3] Those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment will survive. [4] When reproductive isolation occurs new species will form."
