As I told them:
Although Jnana does not hunt, he observes points at which ancient traditions – including hunting and gathering – influence modern religious practices, meditation high among them. Jnana also acknowledges the role organized sportsmen have performed in restoring populations of wildlife, and has learned from hunters eminently adept at reading animals’ ways in the field. These days, living in New Hampshire, he keeps an eye open for moose rather than elk along the highway.

I’ve just read this blog post on hunting called Without You and I sat and cried my eyes out. It’s beyond cruel. http://outlawjimmy.com/
Modern hunting is quite different from the kind practiced by so-called primitive peoples — the ones whose very lives were so interdependent on the animals around them.
Think of the rituals of cleansing before going out on the hunt, the supplication to the animals, or the acts of returning bits to the earth in symbolic gratitude.
That’s all such a contrast to our production-line farming that presents meat in clear wrapped plastic.
When I wrote this piece, I was living at the edge of a large Indian reservation and was becoming increasingly aware of their teachings.
You are so right – such a contrast! Beautiful post Jnana. 🙂
