“In the old fairy tales princes were always being turned into frogs, and princesses who wanted husbands were always being asked to kiss them. Maybe this is a Jungian parable about love – how it requires that you accept the animal within people if you want to enjoy their more “civilized” attributes as well.
Perhaps we should consider every frog a prince. Start to think in different terms – deem every dog a duke and every cat a countess, regard every rabbit as royalty and every mosquito a monarch. What if we stopped judging the earth as a place of untidy wildness in need of human dominion – and instead bowed to nature’s nobility?”
