Help from Baja's Black Bear
More Animal Tales
Now some help from Baja’s Black Bear.
Not a real live black bear; a drug, an elixir, a strong one. It is perfect for my needs, my condition. I think of its effect as I would an animal
tranquilizer – best used on animals and man when the time is near for their particular struggle point.
Animals need professionals close at hand to know what, how and when to inject the particular drug that calms, sooths, renders the animal pacific and
able to be handled. Most humans can recognize when they need their special Baja drug and simply pour a glass over ice straight or with their favorite
flavor aide.
Nothing unique about humans using what’s at hand to take off the rough edges, the travails of everyday toil and boil. They chew coca leaves in Peru,
sip yerba Maté in Uruguay from dawn to dusk as naturally as they breath in and out.
My worries are not the big city scramble kind but I have projects that unravel, deferred maintenance debts to pay, unwelcome time constraints, fuzzy
or prickly things that pop up to rob me of my right, my need to recreate (or not), seek my own personal style of leisure (or not) on my signature
forgiving timetable.
The drug (the Mexicans call it Oso Negro) keeps me calm when I need to be, moderates my mood when I feel trapped or used or set upon by people and
predicaments. I’ve often wondered what might happen if I didn’t have the stuff close a hand. Could I become irascible, intractable, unstable, and
belligerent? Like the real bear, the big cats, horses and other wild things might I struggle mightily to bolt, to escape, to try to outrun the danger
I feel, to gain my private ends, whatever I call freedom? Might I strike out against my captors?
Just the thought of all that violence and exertion, danger and stress has made my heart race, my pulse pound so I’ll have to get back to you on all of
that a little later. You know what I have to do. (right this minute)
