Running with the hounds... (47)
tinyfangs: I feel a need to explain somthing in regards to me running with my 'wolf pack'.
nono... the running with the dogs is fine. The Howling with the dogs..... that's another story.
MADDOG69: nono... the running with the dogs is fine. The Howling with the dogs..... that's another story.
Could you give us a vocaroo of your best howl and I can listen to at lunchtime?

A dog comes when one howls
And nopes, sorry, my howls are reserved for the right occasions, no recordings for you to listen to
I used to run with the hounds, loved it, it awakens a sleeping primeval hunter instinct that lays mostly dormant inside us all, now days though, my feelings towards hunting down a fox (with hounds, for fun) have completely changed, i think its wrong, the "Music"(barking/howling, call it what you will) that the hounds make, still does something to me

That's a handy tip. I'll make a note for the next time I have a late night hook up with a Northside Sheila

I don't believe in fox hunting with horses and hounds either, feels a big party to me, and the killing of another being should not be a 'sport'/entertainment/fun.
But
to what you typed about primeval instincts. There is something very 'alive' about it when I run with the hounds, see them darting about, and I can imagine them setting out to hunt in a pack, same as their wolf 'cousins' do.facetowardsfront: That's a handy tip.

Glad to have been of service
tinyfangs: Glad to have been of service
Not as much service as the northside sheila tho

Exactly
When your running "with them" its almost like your one of them, one of their gang/pack and yer in it together to catch, well, dinner
I have never eaten fox, i imagine its probably horrible, i don't think wolves would put huge effort into hunting down a fox, too little a reward, it was humans who bred dogs for their own needs, wolfhound, foxhound etc.

Hold on the two of you. It's me who's doing the service, she's be doing a favour.

How I see it, modern life forces us into moulds, it tells us when to rise via alarm clocks, it tells us what to wear, how to act, and most do not even notice how deeply this has come to affect their every being. Spirits are broken already at an early age, we are forced to conform under the whip of an unnatural lifestyle, and especially men have had their pride taken away, have their dignity trampled upon every step of the way.
Facetowardsfront mentioned something aout zoo and cages in one of his posts on this forum, and that is indeed true in my view, and there is an amazing poem that I stumbled over when I was only a child, and it touched me even back then very very deeply. It speaks in my opinion of something which has happened to us too, and most of all men, and it pains me so much to witness it all around.
This whole existence through I felt this and it scared me, and when I run with the hounds something within me feels relief and release as even though these dogs are a product of domestication, they nonetheless are still closer to their nature than what we are now to ours.
Many who will read this, I doubt will be able to truly understand what I am trying to say, not because they are stupid, but because of the very life I so hate we are all now living. We are not just ruled in regards to our daily routines, but right down to the way we think and feel.. and I have been despairing over this for decades already, losing hope more and more, and this is why I now run with the hounds instead, as that seems to be all that I have left to experience a natural freedom we long had torn from us...
The Panther
His gaze has been so worn by the procession
Of bars that it no longer makes a bond.
Around, a thousand bars seem to be flashing,
And in their flashing show no world beyond.
The lissom steps which round out and re-enter
That tightest circuit of their turning drill
Are like a dance of strength about a center
Wherein there stands benumbed a mighty will.
Only from time to time the pupil's shutter
Will draw apart: an image enters then,
Will travel through the tautened body's stillness —
To in the heart forever end.
(Rainer Maria Rilke - translation by Walter Arndt)
I think more people than you think will understand and empathise with what you are saying. Although a lot of us are weighed down with the blinkered perspectives that were taught to us as children, there are also a lot of us who strive for freedom of thoughts and feelings. That freedom also means that we won't always agree with each other though. Being free means that we allow others their differences and their mistakes as well as celebrating our own differences. Not everyone needs to run with dogs to be free. For someone else, freedom may mean time to gaze at the sky or dig in the soil. My experience is that there are a lot of free hearts out there beating under very ordinary, everyday clothes and taking real pleasure in very ordinary, everyday deeds.How I see it, modern life forces us into moulds, it tells us when to rise via alarm clocks, it tells us what to wear, how to act, and most do not even notice how deeply this has come to affect their every being.

It really is a strange sensation, I am a vegetarian, but I can feel some instincts rising for sure, and they don't feel bad at all, but natural and right even
Sometimes predators will hunt other predators down, also about rescources I think? Dogs are very close to their nature still, they might not look like wolves, but they act like a pack of hunters and it is a joy to sort of feel part of it/be accepted by them.

That's a lovely quote, mj

I agree with that, although often we are even told WHAT makes us feel free, and many will follow the suggestions.
I have tried speed (not the drug, but the fast speed thingy) and it did give me 'kicks', especially on a bike, also on a horse in flat out canter, pressed against the neck of a mighty creature, feeling its powerful moves.. but I must say, running with the hounds seems so far to trumph it all, alas.. horse in full run can come close.
