Matt and I sat down to breakfast, and he told me the news buzzing about this trending children’s book.  

It was a strange news story.  I also had to come to terms this was trending news; it did not feel important, just urgent. 

I was curious, and I watched a read-aloud of the story to a group of children.  The look of real confusion on even a child’s face in the audience was not surprising.  What is the true intention of publishing a children’s book that takes the reality of imagination too far? What is the true intention of a community embracing it? What is the true intention of publicizing the book and its response in mass media?  It is a title published and being recognized within a genre it does not belong, in my opinion.  It is a title for adults to ponder the confusion over, not children.  

I asked Matt in response: What is the matter with being who we are created to be (reality) and encouraging expression within that true reality yet still honoring who we are created to be?  

Expression does not feel to me like a state of being, rather expression feels like a representation of myself in a state of being.  

Choosing to become what we are not created to be and recognizing the choice is alternate reality and confusing - it feels confusing in the sense being in touch with creation is lost.  

A walrus cannot pretend to be a human being in its reality. A walrus cannot identify as a human being nor can a walrus become a human being; walrus’ are obedient to a rule of nature. 

I was curious if I could identify with a walrus, afterall:

The Walrus Spirit Animal embodies family ties and friendship. It appears as a reminder to stay close and care about the people you love, and who give you affection equally. Surround yourself with the individuals you strive to be every day.

I have always had a great connection with animals, especially dogs.  Animals are just present in their being.

12/11/21 I have proofread my thoughts, here, throughout the week because I am bothered.  I asked myself in front of Matt, “Why am I bothered by something having no impact on my life?” Nonsense.  It is all just a matter of nonsense.  I am bothered by how much attention, support and movement nonsense can garner.  I do hope real communication comes from the author’s work and its publicity because I can respect it.
