Animal Quills

Thanks for sharing this, it's been quite awhile I think since I've read a writing on your therianthropy, and it's nice to see duiker in there now :).

Although it is a work in progress, I do want to mention that I feel as though something is missing, like mentioned by Aloïs, I have trouble seeing the 'essence' of puma in it, though I felt you were capturing duiker better than puma (but with more to add on duiker, since you said you weren't finished with that part)--just something about the words, the way you delivered them. But it could be some ungulate bias of mine :D and my lack of reading much from other ungulates. I did like the writing though, yet I can't help but feel an 'itching' for something more, something that "paints" cougar and duiker in a vibrant way--brilliant colors of actions, body concept and body-focused thought, instincts, emotions, reactions, and them 'painted' in a subjective way that sings of human, cougar, duiker, and the combination of those three animals combined into one: combined into you. It is difficult to place such things into words because they are so subjective and so very non-verbal that it can be a struggle to find adequate, let alone wonderful, words to describe that essence of the animal(s). I've run into difficulty with it before many times as well, and honestly, I continue to feel as though my poetry and prose about my therianthropy speaks volumes far above my usual therianthropy writings and essays because the poetry/prose somehow has managed to capture such levels of that essence that I've not found ways to deliver verbally any other way.

But anyway, I look forward to your completed version of this :).
