Rhona Mitra Instagram – How do we combat the darkness? We alchemize the pain into purpose… Every day, In any way we can…. 💡 Its been a year since the Hoarder kids arrived on deaths door. Starved and emaciated after enduring a horrible life at the hands of a selfish human who kept all manor of animals in the most horrific of conditions. They arrived during the worst drought in 40 years, and somehow we managed to get them over the hill with forage and vitamins, hydration, slow integration with the land and new family….and lots of constant love. They would break into the house to try and find any snacks as they had been accustomed to rifling through trash, and even eating dog food in the previous incarnation. While it was pretty cute, it was actually a desperate sign that these kids had been in survival mode their entire lives. Left in a prison of Hell to fend for themselves. We don’t often take enough time to stop and look back to see how far they have come. But this image of an emaciated Meadow popped up on my timeline today. So to honor the year of not only surviving but thriving and now to see them in all their glory living off the land, in the herd mother and daughter, safe and free… It brings us to tears. A reflection, and a reminder that we all deserve a chance to live in safe spaces, protected from subjugation, tyranny and oppression on any level. We honor and revere you mummy Meadow and Baby Blossom, true symbols of tenacity and grace…. @thelastarkorphanage #rewildrememberrehabilitate #alchemizethesuffering #whatwedotoanimalswedotoourselves 🌸
