A Childs Play

We have all been to this irresistible place where our childhood memories first started. This is a place full of wonder and joy from all around. The little children learn how to swing back and forth, simply by swaying their legs in and out, repeating it constantly in their head to keep with the rhythmic grove it plays. The children pretend they're a captain on a pirate ship looking beyond the sea with the magical telescope that scoops the vast area. The young girl whisks through the vines of the monkey bars, gently and calmly reaching the ends of the vines, landing on her two feet feeling accomplished and satisfied. This is where the inexplicable happens and where imagination comes into play. What will a world be like without playgrounds and the imagination it lures people from all ages into?  Its like telling a child that Santa Clause doesn't exist, and watching their imagination slowly fade away. This is were a child first played, all the way from kindergarten through the years of elementary. With its crest of believers in all ages where they learned to swing as high as the tallest tree, glide down a bumpy slide and climb up it with the wood chips on the soles of their shoes. A world without a playground, wouldn't be a world at all.

     Along with this joyous play of life, their is also danger that sweeps along with it. The cry of an infant, all scrapped up, leading to permanent tissue scaring, and the wailing of their pain swizz through their face as it lights up like a lit up sunset. A mother striving their way, to cradle them in her soft, warm hug that makes them forget the danger they were put into. It reminded me of a newly mothered grizzly bear as she retreats out of her den, and into the unknown and dangerous environment lurking out in the meadows. Her two young cubs, circling and sniffing to the new world that have captured their hearts with life and adventure. This whole vast area is their playground, as they gallop through the rose bushes, pined trees, and huckleberry bush that makes them humbly stop to intake its lushes sweetness. Grizzly bears are no different from us humans and have a will to be on this earth just as much as we do. They're not a threat to humanity unless provoked to do so. Many think of this creature as viscous and territorial. They are only trying to make a living out of the resources that surround them just like we are as humans. Making a living on what we can earn and doing it that doesn't take way our will to end up owing debts and being broke in the process. Bears are no different from us and we shouldn't threat them poorly and lower than us. We shouldn't  mess with their environment and hunt them down, killing off their species. These beloved creature are an important role in the forests ecosystem were they fertilize the seed for berries to grow and  increase the amount of variable nitrogen through the soil disturbance and salmon carcass dispersal. It heartbreaking to see these animals be endangered in what was once their homes in the 19th and 20th centuries in North America. In all my years of being here in Nevada , I once saw a grizzly with its cubs  and it was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. It was brown with massive broad shoulders as it lifted it long claws off the ground to view the abstract noise. Then they roamed back into the depth of wildlife as I wiped the tear off my face as she looked back at me with those imbedded brownish eyes of trust and acceptance.

 And to show you a glimpse of how these grizzlies care and their life's to protect their child. This video shows a mother grizzly near a river with her cubs , I'm guessing to drink water or fishing for salmon. And out of nowhere this male bear cones out of the corner and heads towards her cubs. She doesn't let him get close and she lunges into the water, putting her life at risk to keep him away from mangling her new born cubs. Which shows her quick response to take matters into her own hands when it involves the safety of her children. Just like the mother at the park, coming to her child's safety and taking actions as quick as she can.
