Chally's Polar Bear and Clarence's Tree Person

A few years ago, I was at a Step Picnic. The speaker spoke about the Eighth and Ninth Step along with the need make amends his dead father. I did the same for my father by running the war memorials in Washington D.C. to honor him. Chally opted to do some ceremonial work in the desert to make amends to his father. After the ceremony, he looked down and found a Polar Bear. He kept that Polar Bear in his truck. He talked about how his truck was stolen and wreaked. The polar bear was missing. I decided to buy him another Polar Bear and placed it in his new truck anonymously.

Last year, Chally died from ASL. I was in my car while thinking about him and some reason opened the glove compartment. I found a Polar Bear. That was a God Shot assuring me that Chally is more than okay where he is at.

A few of the Neighbors in my building and I have been in and out of each other's apartment so often that we don't worry about social distancing. We are like a family, watching and caring for each other. I was in Clarence's apartment a few days ago and admired one of his painting. They are chocolate box paintings that he gives away with so much more potential. He gave me the painting. I was looking at the painting and thinking I bet I can recreate this image out of twigs for the Fairy Garden. My Higher Power will bring the items for this garden but rather I win the competition at the State Fair or if there will even be a State Fair is another story. Time will tell but it's an interesting journey nonetheless.

Interesting story about your friend Chally, polar bear and God Shot. The second photo is the painting by your friend Clarence? I really like it - it will be interesting to see how the twig fairy turns out with the painting as a template (of sorts).

Lovely story about your friend Chally and the polar bear. Good luck with your fairy garden, I'm sure it is giving you much joy in the making. I would be lost without my garden, especially now with the lockdown restrictions.

Due to global warming, the worlds largest carnivore the majestic Polar Bears numbers will be cut in half by the year 2050.

The massive ice melts now in full effect cause this creature to have to go far out to sea to find it's frozen hunting grounds that contain its food source the fur seal. Hundreds of miles of now open ocean waters.

Many remain on small remote pocketed islands with no prey and parish from great weight loss and malnutrition.

I'm sure Chally was well informed as to the true greatness his polar bears exhibited in their quest to simply survive.

Nomadic wanderers with no dens or homes. in temps that can reach minus sixty degrees below zero, Able to swim 150 miles without stopping,

The keenest nose in the entire animal world in being able down wind to smell a fur seal under ice from up to five miles away,

If ever mother nature created a surviving animal that defies all odds, it is Chally's Polar Bears/

Symbolistic of great strength, unwavering conviction, total determination and above all else. accepting solitude as a way of life for every male bear and females not raising cubs.

Many of the same qualities many seniors on this site with lost partners now also face.

    Quoting Maudie1:

I always feel better when I can play in the dirt. I don't have a house and a yard anymore so I am restricted to container gardens but they are the keepers of my sanity. All I have to do is see a sprout merging from the earth and my heart dances with joy.
