What Do You Mean, 'This Sounds Familiar?'

Concerning Zookeepers

Zookeepers have been living and zookeeping in the four corners of the Zoo for many hundreds of years, quite content to ignore and be ignored by the world of the City Folk. Earth being, after all, full of strange creatures beyond count Zookeepers must seem of little importance, being neither renowned as great thinkers nor counted among the very strong. In fact it has been remarked by some that Zookeepers' only real passion is for animals. A rather unfair observation, as we have also developed a keen interest in the collecting of peacock feathers and the hosing of walk-ways. But where our hearts truly lie is in the peace and quiet and calm of being behind the fences... For all Zookeepers share a love of things that are distant. And yes, no doubt to others, our ways seem quaint. But today of all days, it is brought home to me : it is not bad thing to celebrate a simple life

And so life in the Zoo goes on very much as it has this past Age, full of its own comings and goings, with change coming slowly. If it comes at all. For things are made to endure in the Zoo passing from one generation to the next. There's always been a Jereality loving the Zoo here in the world. And there always will be.
