🦊What a fantastic friendly urban Mrs #Fox has taught me about life (and Bill Hick's The Ride).

Sometimes a piece of music inspires an AjaxTV+ production and in this case, it was Jesse's Carnival Waltz which then reminded of Bill Hick's monologue 'The Ride' and then of course back to Ajax and what she teaches me about life and our role and purpose in it. Then what is the ending of my favourite animated cartoon Fantastic Mr Fox - it's all about survival and family and friends. To leave the world a better place than you found it and help to relieve the suffering that's gotta be a good start hasn't it. Are you listening Mr Putin? 

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.”

London is the ultimate urban landscape when we look out of the window or take a walk down the street, these views can appear to be devoid of any natural life, with everything being artificial and man-made. But when we look again, with the right eyes, we can see that nature is actually here in abundance. and that includes one of nature's great survivors and adapters the urban #fox.
