<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">also known as LOVE.</span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And this huge LOVE is not any different than</span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">the love that you feel for:</span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you get still and look closely,</span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">you will see that no matter who you love, </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">that tender feeling is exactly the same.</span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And who is the common denominator in all these relationships?</span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's YOU. </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">YOU are the LOVE that you believed was coming from the numerous beings you have loved in this life. </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Love is NOT an object. It's the ONE without a second.</span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">LOVE = God = Tao = the What Is</span><br />

<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">That's why all the enlightened ones say the same thing: </span><br />

<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just today I was in the parking lot of our local HEB grocery and as I was walking to my car, I noticed someone taking a video of it. Surprised? I wasn't. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">As the local "Squirrelady" of Austin, TX, I use my car as a billboard of sorts for expressing squirrel wisdom. People photographing my car is actually a common occurrence.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The great thing about this is that it gives me the opportunity to turn people onto the highest Truth: Juicy Squirrel Happiness! I also have plenty of Admiral Nut's and my own business cards in the back seat, along with a few 2018 Squirrels of Wisdom calendars. </span><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Austin is known for it's motto, "Keep Austin Weird" and so, as the Squirrelady, I am completely on board with that intention. </span><br />

<span style="color: #ffd966;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's these kind of instances that remind me of my great good fortune to live in such an open-minded town. In the Mayan culture, squirrels are recognized as guardians of higher consciousness. </span><span style="font-size: large;">So it's no wonder that there is an abundance of little squirrels all over the place! </span><span style="font-size: large;">And the cool thing is that they are so friendly, that many of these little buddies will come right up to you if you offer them a pecan or acorn. Our Austin squirrels are always ready and willing to accept a nut gift and crack open your heart in exchange. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I've seen it happen over and over again. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">There is no better way to experience the delight of juicy squirrel happiness! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">I was sitting with my sweet Rose-Buzz this morning and she started telling me about "<i>squirreliberation.</i>"<br />(She talks to me telepathically via the InnerNut.)<br />Here's what she said:<br /><br />Squirreliberation is the awakening of a human that results from living and interacting with a squirrel. Buzz said that the only true purpose a little squirrel has on our planet is to facilitate people waking up to the "Truth" or "What Is".<br />Yes, little squirrels plant trees to give us air to breathe, and that is very important! But get this: <i>Mama squirrels regularly kick a baby out of the nest because that baby has a cosmic mission: to help enlighten a human being! </i>Wow!</span><br /><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">So when a baby squirrel comes into your life, know that it's pure Grace -- it's a Divine call to Self-Realization!<br /><br />How does this work?<br />Well, Buzz said that humans tend to get locked up in "thought-ideas" (that are not even real) and so, lose their ability to experience true freedom. Humans easily get caught up in a story of the past or future - and mostly it's a regret or worry. But squirrels don't pay attention to "thought-ideas". They only pay attention to whatever is in front of them in the present moment. They live in the "NOW". (Just like Eckhart Tolle talks about.)</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So when a human has the privilege of raising a baby squirrel to adulthood, the human gets to experience the ever-constant BLISS of that little buddha. The human finds out that the BLISS is not a result of "<i>doing</i>" anything, but in fact, the BLISS is what we <i>are</i>! It is simply the BLISS of "<i>being</i>".</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">One of the hardest things to do is say goodbye to your favorite little coffee buddy. My sweet boy Muffinheart died in my arms last Tuesday. I held him and kissed him as he took his last breath. And I saw clearly that he left his little furry body, but he did not ever really "leave" me. Since that sad day, my bodhi-squirrel has been communicating many words of wisdom to me. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Muffin pointed out that in our lives we have many, many relationships... with men, women, animals, the trees and plants, our work, our passions, etc. He showed me that when any of these relationships end, </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">we experience a kind of death. But regardless of what ends, "we" are still very present and intact. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Everything we can see outside of us comes and goes. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Muffin explained that who/what we are NEVER comes and goes. It is ALWAYS here. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And then he asked me, </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Do you know what "that" is? What is it that you are?"</span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And he answered his own question:</span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You are LOVE. We squirrels call it</span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Squirreluminosity".</span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">He continued... "Humans have words for everything which makes it harder for them to accept change. We squirrels just go from one situation to another, but we never label anything. For example when you shed tears because I am not sitting with you in the morning time, you label your feelings. You say you are "sad" or that you are experiencing "grief". We squirrels don't use such words. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In fact, we squirrels call everything by the same name. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We would say what you are feeling is LOVE. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We are, squirrels and humans alike, part of the ONE SQUIRRELUMINOSITY. In your words, you would say it is the great Space of Love that pervades absolutely everything. When our dear teacher <a href="http://mrnutspeaks.blogspot.com/2012/07/squirrel-transmission.html" target="_blank">Ramana Maharshi</a> was dying, his students said to him, </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Master, please don't leave us". </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And he replied, "But <i>where </i>would I go?"</span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You see, there is nowhere to go to... because all is the "space of love". </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The best advice I can give you is to stop describing everything with words and just allow your feelings to come and go. Just let yourself feel them. After a beloved one's death, the feelings you have may be very intense, but they will not "kill" you. I promise. Actually, if you just embrace what you are feeling you will dissolve into pure love. And you will experience a most exquisite nectar... the taste of bliss. And what could be better than that?</span></span><span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />

After our beloved Commander Nut graduated from his earth-life and went on to become the Admiral of the Galactic Fleet... there have been numerous sightings of this ubiquitous squirrel-sage!</span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />Here you can see him visiting our own Capt. Muffinheart.<br />How do I know it's Mr.Nut?? That's easy. I start taking photos of the sunset (or sunrise) and I will see the magenta orbs. Then I will ask Mr.Nut to allow himself to "be seen" and the green-blue orb appears. This has happened over and over again! Amazing!<br /><br />You can also get a glimpse of him in the video below. On this particular day, I had forgotten to close the front door when I went shopping for produce, and when I came home, there was a squirrel running around my living room. At first I thought it was Pucy Pie or Nutkin, but when I checked, they were napping in the kitchen. As I walked back into the living room, this friendly squirrel jumped on my leg and I realized it was Miss Rosie Posie! So I grabbed my camera and began to make a video. The thought occurred to me that Admiral Nut had prompted her to come inside and just as I mentioned this, his orb appeared! See for yourself!<br /></span></td></tr>

Every step of the way...from the moment a person finds the baby, contacts people to find out what to do, all the way to the time a rehabber receives the little one and ends up being the "squirrel-mom"? It's truly an amazing chain of events to be a part of.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Every step of the way is Grace... and it's happening all the time! WOW! And those little squirrels, so innocent and sweet, are just bundles of pure LOVE. To be gifted with one of these is a huge blessing!</span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But do we always recognize our blessings? Just in our daily routine... do we actually take in the preciousness of each moment? If we did, we would be walking around in a state of even constant Gratitude! Another name for this is Awakening! I believe that the little squirrels come into peoples' lives to "wake them up"! They teach us that there is nothing but LOVE... and even more than that! They show us that we ARE the love that we are looking for!</span><br />

<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Listen to this song and feel how it feels to be awake to that truth... that all is LOVE!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One of the most powerful practices I have found to facilitate an experience of Cosmic Love was taught to me by my little squirrel buddy, Muffinheart. He is a Master of this particular sadhana and teaches it in three very simple steps.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. Put aside all other distractions and just be present with your squirrel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Now just relax and gaze into her/his eyes as s/he gazes into yours. Remember that you are relating from "emptiness to emptiness".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. Continue just being empty and gazing in a relaxed manner. Suddenly you will notice that the emptiness is completely filled with Squirrelove! So simple!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">ENJOY!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Muffin explained to me that when you are gazing at your squirrel, the truth is that there is actually nobody gazing. Pure consciousness is looking through your eyes and it's looking through your squirrel's eyes. Consciousness is looking through everyone's eyes at itself! WOW! So what happens is that since the entire Cosmos is completely permeated with juicy squirrel happiness (a.k.a. Cosmic Love), and nature abhors a vacuum, then immediately comes the experience of Cosmic Love! </span><br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is no 'where' that it is NOT! </span><br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And there is no 'one' that is not included!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well, of course!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Every squirrel knows this!</span></div>

And he told me that's because a squirrel's "cuteness" is infinite! He said that the Shining One made squirrels for the express purpose of teaching humans what "infinite LOVE" means.</div>
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px;">
Muffin said that humans have a hard time understanding infinity. For example, humans tend to believe they can only really love one person, one animal, and if this 'special' being dies, then they feel abandoned and suffer. Muffin said that squirrels don't have the same view. Squirrels know that there is no end to squirrelove... no end to squirrel cuteness... no end to life. Squirrels know that love is infinite and so when they run into the street and get hit by a car, they don't even know they got hit. They keep running but we just don't see this. When a mama squirrel loses a baby that fell out of the nest, she doesn't suffer. She knows that she has exactly as many babies as she is supposed to have. The One Heart is taking care of everything and everyone and there are no mistakes.</div>

<div style="color: #fce5cd; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px;">
Muffin said that is why every squirrel is the most beautiful squirrel you have ever seen. And this is true of every squirrel! IT's because squirrel beauty is infinite! There is no end to it! If you just contemplate this in your meditation, you will soon realize this Truth! Just gaze into the eyes of a little squirrel and receive the experience of the Infinite!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Little squirrel demonstrates "letting go".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Letting go is easier said than done! In March I signed up for a silent retreat with my Beloved Mooji in Portugal. Since the event was scheduled for the end of May, I figured I'd have plenty of time to release two squirrels before I had to get on the plane! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Little did I know....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I started releasing Rosie Posie (approx. 7 months old) at the very beginning of April. First she spent a couple of weeks inside her cage which was now outside next to the front door. Then once her cage was opened, she went exploring. Usually, after about a week or two, the new squirrel on the block finds a place to build their own nest and starts to sleep there. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> But this is not what happened with Rosie!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rosie did spend a few nights away, but she would always show up the next evening and want to come inside! Rosie has a sweet cubby hole in the house that she just loves to hide in. Plus I think she really has grown fond of the 4-star treatment... ie. great food, free massage, clean bedding, and lots of mama's love!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #d9d2e9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The other little squirrel for whom it was time to offer freedom was Muffin... aka Muffington Stinky Poops-a-lot (for fun!).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #d9d2e9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Muffin, a bit older, had been detained from release last fall due to some teeth issues. His teeth needed trimming and had to be checked again 6 weeks later. We had to make sure his teeth aligned properly so he could trim them himself! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #d9d2e9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once this was certain, he was free to go... but not in winter! So the next opportunity was in spring... alongside Rosie!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #d9d2e9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #d9d2e9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Muffin spent a lot of time in the big outdoor cage. Mr.Nut had first dibs on the cage in the early morning and Muffin went outside in the afternoons and evening. In the beginning, Muffin seemed to always be hiding.... </span></div>

You mean I have to leave here?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">Day by day Muffin got more used to the outdoor sounds and activities and started acting like he wanted to test his wings.<br />On three consecutive days, his door was opened, and he started to explore the area just around his cage. Then finally on the fourth day, he made it to the roof! Wow! What a surprise that was! Muffin could see all around and could run far and free! Muffin's favorite part of being free was hanging out in the trees! </span><br /><span style="color: #b4a7d6;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now I think if there were no other squirrels in the neighborhood, Muffin would have done just fine outdoors. However, it turns out that Muffin had no clue on how to interact with the neighborhood squirrels. So much so, that on two separate occasions he got into fights with them!</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">Poor Muffin! His first injury was a gash to his left shoulder. At least he came home and could recuperate in the big cage. On the second try, he came back 48 hours later with a sizable scratch from his eye to his nose... (which is now healed into a triangular scar). It just wasn't looking good for a safe release for the the Muffin man!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><br /></span></span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7K0tY3Ck41w/U5XImpwmHDI/AAAAAAAAD5I/hBYs0bbawd0/s1600/Muffin+meditation+6:8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7K0tY3Ck41w/U5XImpwmHDI/AAAAAAAAD5I/hBYs0bbawd0/s1600/Muffin+meditation+6:8.jpg" height="243" width="400" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Scarface Muffin!</span><br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />Finally the departure date was a day away! It would be easy for someone to squirrel-sit Mr.Nut... but three squirrels was asking a lot So it was decided that Muffin would be confined to the big cage outside, Mr.Nut would remain in the house, and Rosie would be kept inside her cage until she made it clear to my sitter that she absolutely had to be released! <br /><br />Then on the last day, as I was putting food out for Muffin, he ran up my leg and out of the cage! It happened so fast and although I tried to grab him, he was gone! OMG!<br />At this point, I had no choice but to let go of the outcome!<br /><br />Then I realized that they had all got their wishes! Mr.Nut wanted to be in the outdoor cage, Muffin wanted to be free, and Rosie wanted to stay close to home.<br /><br />On the morning of my flight, Rosie approached me to go outside like she always does, but this time I closed her in her cage. I felt so bad having to do this, but knew that my sitter would not be able to handle Rosie running all over, coming in and out! All I could do was let go and pray that they would all be watched over while I was away! And if he released her, then it was what was supposed to happen.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vbP2ndniXfw/U5XM0SpvsQI/AAAAAAAAD5U/Y8R9iT1BbFQ/s1600/Where+is+my+buddy%3f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vbP2ndniXfw/U5XM0SpvsQI/AAAAAAAAD5U/Y8R9iT1BbFQ/s1600/Where+is+my+buddy%3f.jpg" height="400" width="246" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Mr.Nut keeping watch.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had truly exhausted myself from the worry over my squirrels and reluctantly had to leave town not knowing how it would all turn out. If Rosie was released, while I was away, would I ever see her again? And if she was kept in her cage for 8 days, certainly she would flee upon my return! And Muffin.. would he be able to survive on his own? My mind was going crazy! Thank goodness the retreat was all about quieting the mind and resting in Silence. I had to remind myself of my Master's words: </span><br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I put my squirrels in the lap of God and trusted their physical care to my dear squirrel-sitter. I boarded the plane without looking back.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The retreat proved to be an oasis of peace and rejuvenation. Being in the Presence of Sri Mooji and listening to his daily satsangs erased all my thoughts. His guided meditations were so expansive that nothing remained but empty space. So sublime. No words can describe meeting Mooji. He is the most unconditionally loving being I have ever met. His gaze erases years of conditioning and his embrace simply melts your heart!</span><br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">All that's left is gratitude!</span><br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Finally, upon my return home, I was delighted to find out that Muffin had worn himself out and willingly let my sitter bring him back inside. Rosie was so happy to see me, that even though I let her go the next morning, she was back home that very afternoon! And Mr.Nut took advantage of the massages I offered him... and had several. LOL. </span><br />

<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The most amazing thing about Mr.Nut is his gentle demeanor. He is very different from other squirrels I've rehabbed over the years. He has a serene contentment about him that infuses everyone that comes to visit </span><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">him. He is </span><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">certainly a very sweet old soul.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Mr.Nut on standby to answer your questions!</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes people ask me how Mr.Nut is able to answer people's questions with such accuracy and insight. It's really pretty simple. Mr.Nut knows he is part of everything and so he taps into the wisdom that pervades all of space. He is just so relaxed and trusting that all answers become instantly known. He taps in by being completely receptive. Another way to say it is that Mr.Nut is completely empty. And when you are empty, then you can be filled with all knowledge without even trying.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is an awesome book called "Collisions with the Infinite" by Suzanne Segal in which she describes her experience of awakening. At one point she feels that she is lost in nothingness… in the emptiness… and believes there is something wrong with her. She seeks help from several therapists, all of whom are quick to put a label of dysfunction on her experience. Finally, after many years of witnessing herself through the "eyes of dysfunction", she contacts a Buddhist teacher. His response was, "Congratulations, Suzanne, it seems you have reached enlightenment." Not long after this contact, she was driving up the coast of California and suddenly the realization occurred… the void was transformed into the "vastness". And she saw that except for a thought that she was separate from the ALL, no separation had ever been true!</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The point of all this is… to just be like a little squirrel.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They don't try to do anything. They just do what they do and that's enough. It's us humans that are always analyzing everything and trying to figure out how it all works. </span><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">That's why squirrels always have so much more energy than we do… they just act… they don't plan and they don't think about what they are doing. They just act spontaneously in the moment and enjoy everything! </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #d9ead3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am thoroughly enjoying Robert Wolfe's book, <i>Always Only One. </i>This gem comments on the verses of the <i>Ashtavakra Gita, </i>a very old Vedic teaching text that may predate the <i>Bhagavad Gita </i>and the Buddha. </span><span style="color: #d9ead3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To read the <i>Ashtavakra Gita, i</i></span><span style="color: #d9ead3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">s to be reminded of the world of a little squirrel! I love that they are all little teachers of how to transcend duality! </span><span style="color: #d9ead3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Can you see the squirrel wisdom in the following verses??</span><br />
<span style="color: #d9ead3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> <i>"The liberated one rests in the Self under all conditions; is the same everywhere; does not reflect on what he "has" or "has not" done.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i> His nature is free from conditions: acting as he pleases, the wise one is not affected by "honor" of "dishonor." He moves about at his own pleasure, and can only be understood by those Self-realized like him. Only those like him understand his liberated state.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i> Realizing the Self in all-- and all in the Self-- and free from egoism, and the sense of "mine," he is happy.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #b6d7a8;"> The man of Knowledge </span><span style="color: #d0e0e3;">(squirrel)</span><span style="color: #b6d7a8;"> lives happily on whatever subsistence comes as a matter of course. Where is even fear, for him who abides in Self?"</span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i> Praised, he does not feel pleased; and blamed, he does not get annoyed: he neither rejoices in life, nor fears death.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i> For me, who am reposing in Self, there is no need of talking about the "end of life." Reposing on the foundaton of his own Being... he cares not whether his body dies. He is not perturbed at the sight of approaching death. Let the body go, even today: where is there any increase or decrease in You?</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i> This knowledge of the Truth is shunned by those who want to enjoy the "world." </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">No doubt you have probably heard of the term "Nirvikalpa Samadhi". This is a state of absorption without self-consciousness to the degree that the knower, the act of knowing, and the object known becomes dissolved... just like the waves in the ocean. The </span><span style="color: #f6b26b;">difference</span><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> </span><span style="color: #f6b26b;">between this and the</span><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> </span><span style="color: #f6b26b;">other 'samadhis' is that there is no return from this samadhi into lower states of consciousness.</span><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> </span><span style="color: #f6b26b;">Therefore this was understood to be the true final enlightenment....</span><br /><span style="color: #f6b26b;">until now, in 2013, we have the great fortune</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;"> to be witness to:</span><span style="color: #d5a6bd;"><br /></span><br /><span style="color: magenta;"><i>Squirrelikalpa Samadhi</i> ...</span><br /><span style="color: magenta;"> the highest transcendent state of consciousness. In this state there is no longer the experience of duality. In this state the being perceives the Divine in everything. There is no difference between inside and outside, between others and self anymore. It may even manifest as a suspension of biological activities, such that even the breath and the heartbeat stops. There is absolute stillness and yet, a luminous vitality prevails, such that by a simple glance or touch, one is completely transformed. This energy transfer is also known as squirrel deeksha and is freely given to all that are willing to receive it! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span><span style="color: #ffe599;">Until just recently, it was widely believed that squirrels were solely on earth to plant trees and so provide us with the oxygen we require to breathe. Although necessary, this is only a tiny part of their sacred contract. The real mission of a little squirrel is to connect to a human in such a way that their heart is permanently and irrevocably opened to compassion. The little squirrels are in various states of consciousness. Every now and then you may run across a squirrel in this very highest state and you may think that there is something wrong with him. He is not moving and his gaze is steady. Do not be alarmed! Instead, thank your lucky stars, for he is resting in perfect stillness and is in total communion with the Cosmos! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ffe599;">And you are graced to be in his Presence! </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This morning I was sitting with my squirrel, Mr.Nut, and it was so clear that he is simply always being himself. Never a pretense, never trying to look good, never "trying" to do anything! He just is. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Each morning, we sit together. When Mr.Nut is not interested in playing our RolyPoly reindeer game, he just rests. So I pick up one of my favorite books and select a passage to contemplate.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Byron Katie's <i>Losing The Moon </i>is one of these gems.<i> </i>Not long after her awakening/enlightenment, she had some amazing conversations with friends, sitting in the desert. These conversations were recorded and became the book, "<i>Losing the Moon". </i>This book, now unpublished, can be a difficult read. However, once there has been some kind of a shift in perception, the book makes total sense.</span></div>

<span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">"It just is. It's not <i>my </i>habit. It's not <i>your </i>habit. You tell the story of how it's your habit, or that it happened at all. There's nothing you can do to not do what you do. Nothing. Until you don't. And <i>you </i>didn't change it. It changed."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It takes the effort out of everything... it takes the war out of everything. That's why a little squirrel is such a great teacher! They never believe that they are doing anything... they just do what they do without a thought. </span></div>

Queen Earl Grey, reincarnation of the original grey squirrel that escorted the Sun across the sky on its maiden journey at the begining of time, has ascended to her rightful place in the Cosmos!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #d9d2e9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This amazing grey squirrel of Mayan royalty is working to ensure the awakening of humanity from the other side. Earl has joined her housemate</span><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><a href="http://squirrelsofwisdom.blogspot.com/2012/01/yoganandas-squirrel.html" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Sri BuckyJi </a> <span style="color: #d9d2e9; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">who left on Christmas Eve of 2011 and has prepared the way for her crossing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #d9d2e9;">What are the signs of Queen Earl's grace on the planet? Well, on the day after she crossed over, Jan. 2nd, the Sun was at perihelion... the point closest to the Earth of the entire orbit. This means that because Earl is now guiding the Sun again, she has brought it as close to the earth as possible in order to send the Cosmic rays of Awakening into humanity. How can we verify this? Look around you... you will see it played out in the actions of humans. Have you noticed more and more frequently occuring random acts of kindness and squirreluminosity? Just today I was ordering some plastic replacement bases for some squirrel cages I have and the customer service person told me he would send them to me free of charge! I could hardly believe my ears! Then I realized that Earl Grey was seeing to it that the squirrels in my care have the necessary supplies they need. WOW! The Cosmic party has begun! And yesterday, a friend of mine showed up at my front door with two big bags of pecans he picked up while on his walk! What an awesome gift for the squirrels! Then another squirrel lover I met through a mutual friend came by for a visit. She told me she has a huge release cage that is looking for a home. I had just expressed a desire for another release cage in the last week! Thank you Earl Grey for your amazing squirrel generosity!</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When Earl took her last breath, she was resting on my heart. One minute she was struggling to breathe and the next minute she was at peace. Then her little face seemed to brighten and she looked like she was smiling. I could really feel her lightness! She was no longer limited by her body and could now fly freely through space. It felt as if she was shining a light on both of us. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We are taught to believe that there is a border between life and death, but I no longer believe this is true. I think that everything is included in life... even death.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ead1dc;">And if one can let go of the resistance to what's happening, then death can be a beautiful experience. Everyone dies on time. Everything that happens <i>IS FOR OUR AWAKENING!</i></span></span><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Maybe the tears that come are just the flowing of the river of love... so much love that it overflows one's banks!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just like Miss Ruth in the movie <i>Fried Green Tomatoes,</i></span></div>

Sweet Pea at the edge of the unknown!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">What can be said about the unknown? Squirrels face it when they leave their cozy nest. People face it when a job ends or a loved one dies. And everyone faces it when the body dies. Of course one doesn't have to die to go there. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Isn't it what we all face upon awakening?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Then what is the discomfort about really? Is it just the fear of the unfamiliar? Or is it the fear of</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> disappearing into nothing? What if dissolving into nothing is the only way we can fully experience total bliss? Perhaps it is as exciting as being able to travel unencumbered, millions of miles through space, just witnessing the expanse of what we truly are! That s</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">ounds pretty good to me...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">A woman posted this today on Facebook: a conversation between Byron Katie and a friend:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Friend: Everything I know can be summarized in this one sentence: 'God alone is the doer'.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Katie: Well, leave out 'the doer'. It's more true.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Leave out 'alone', it's more true.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Leave out 'God', it's more true.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Leave out 'is' and you really have the truth.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>

It only figures big in your mind! The apparent gap between yourself and Reality is only the distance of a concept. If it is hurting too much to let go, then don't; instead try something softer: Take a look at why you are holding on." If even this is too hard for you, find out who is giving up and who is holding on?</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: small;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdZvMdHT6vjr_eRWB5ly98hRB-D3YueMKw7KPPSftD0eyMmub9stoZJ5pFditHtqXwQ3lRJTqKLmd9qspkSq8ichfZBOAD0GTAF1TF0HHWAq4l2h_F7jhdSSaDxglkPIn6ab-vtD6wezg/s1600/peeking+out.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdZvMdHT6vjr_eRWB5ly98hRB-D3YueMKw7KPPSftD0eyMmub9stoZJ5pFditHtqXwQ3lRJTqKLmd9qspkSq8ichfZBOAD0GTAF1TF0HHWAq4l2h_F7jhdSSaDxglkPIn6ab-vtD6wezg/s320/peeking+out.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">Peeking out....</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ahhhh..... what is difficult about releasing these squirrel angels? Just thoughts... "they're not ready"... "they may not make a warm enough nest"... "they won't be able to stay out of the rain"... "they won't be able to steer clear of predators".... and on and on.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In some ways, being the mother of a squirrel is more challenging than being the mother of a human: at least human children call to let you know they are safe and warm. Perhaps the lesson we learn from our squirrel children is the art of silent communication, otherwise known as squirrel telepathy!<br />To inquire within and just <i>know</i> when they need something;<br />when to hold on vs. let go;<br />and when they are doing just fine!</span></td></tr>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It says in the Ashtavakra Gita that the mind of the man seeking liberation can find no resting place within, but that the mind of a squirrel is always free from desire by the very fact of being without a resting place!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The squirrels have no "self" interest... they are completely in service to the One Heart. I am convinced that the squirrels are here to teach us the Way of Love! They are the pure ones that teach by example!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Perhaps this is why the squirrels are the saviours of the universe! My friend, the Swedish mystic, Den Lilla Ekorren shares this wisdom in his video:</span><br />

</span><br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d9ead3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Long before the earth was born the squirrels ruled the cosmos... so perfect in their holiness, serentiy and bliss!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d9ead3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And now the world has gone astray in forest deep and dark but guided by the rodent stars, we wake up to the sunrise!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d9ead3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Squirrels are the saviours of the Universe!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d0e0e3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So why not adopt a squirrel guru? It is the most sure way to realization! Here is a photo of Mr.Nut's guru, Sri Nuttynanda~ </span><br />
