"No sooner had the badger entered the earth than he too regressed, turning snarlingly savage, biting off the fox’s ears, biting off his tail, tearing the fur from shoulder and belly. Never, during all those years in the wild, had he fought as ferociously as he did now, in the interest, seemingly, of monastic law and order."
This is an extremely thought provoking piece, and this part specifically made me pause. The idea that the badger fought even more savagely for law and order than it had in the wild has implications in our human life as well. I loved reading this, as always!
Haha thanks, I thought only a part of this was from him. I guess it’s a compliment that I thought this part was your writing! I’ll definitely check him out.
Thanks for this wonderful read, Loup.

Good to hear! And just to make sure you saw, this is not my writing, this is from Invoking Ireland by John Moriarty. He is worth diving into IMHO.
