      It’s like a cartoon mouse snoring and squeaking in his sleep! Probably where Disney got the idea for the dormouse to sing in his sleep in Alice in Wonderland, he sings “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” as he slowly drifts down holding on to his little umbrella, before falling into the Mad Hatter’s teapot.

It takes the piss. They think they don’t have the same responsibility as dog owners and you get a lot of stray cats because people just let them breed and leave them to roam constantly. Luckily I’ve got a dog so it’s deterred them from pooing in the back garden so I’m planning on putting up a fence in the front garden so the dog can go put the front and the back and hopefully that will deter them from both

      I’ve known about them for much of my life. Then I found out that one is a character in Alice in Wonderland, and now that’s what I imagine when I see an actual dormouse! I’m American, so I never got to see one in person, but I’ve seen them in nature documentaries and in pictures in books. I think our equivalent here would be a chipmunk or ground squirrel, or maybe a woodchuck. Appearance-wise, the dormouse reminds me somewhat of our flying squirrels: small, compact bodies, huge eyes relative to the head, long, bushy tail, tiny legs and paws, and small ears.

    Do our thoughts influence nature?
    Indeed, our thoughts influence nature.
    We live in a single global-integral system of nature, we influence it with our thoughts, and we receive feedback accordingly.
    Similar to laws that operate on mechanical, electronic, electromagnetic and other material and biological scales, when we press, push or constrain something, we receive a response. Likewise, when we think positively or negatively about others, we accordingly receive a response.
    The global-integral reality in which we live is a closed system, and we receive responses from it according to our attitudes to it.
