- nkrisc 7y agoSounds like an animal encountering a larger animal and deciding to not engage.
- netsharc 7y agoAs a reductionist I'd have to agree, but I like the idea that the coyote was wanting to share that moment while thinking (and not being able to articulate) "Nice view, huh?"
- stanfordkid 7y agoNot totally absurd that animals would have some sort of innate appreciation or sense of beauty -- infants certainly come hard-wired for recognizing symmetry. I wouldn't be surprised if the "awe" that we get from a large landscape or a rothko painting is some sort of reward system biased towards exploration.
- nkrisc 7y agoI'm not denying that, I just think "spirit" is quite the leap.
- mensetmanusman 7y agoOnce you realize spirit describes the human wave-function you will stop being uncomfortable with the word.
