How my Red-tailed Hawk says hello. x

Sigh

“Hello, listeners. In breaking news: the sky. The Earth. Life! Existence as an unchanging plane with horizons of birth and death in the faint distance. We have nothing to speak about. There never was. Words are an unnecessary trouble. Expression is time, wasting away. Any communication is just a yelp in the darkness. Ladies, gentlemen, listeners. You. I am speaking now, but I am saying nothing! I am just making noises and, as it happens, they are organized in words, and you should not draw meaning from this.”

“They do nothing but fight at home. But they stick together when we’re out in the world.” (Namakabroud, Iran)

Do you have any advice for people to be able to help their loved ones who self harm?
