Solsbury Hill

At last an ad about caring about animals that does not seem to try to elicit a response born of guilt.  So much of” care for animals” advertising includes words like “abandoned” and “cruel” and offers me a cuddly toy if I give.
I admit I am a bit of a cynic when it comes to many organizations that promote care for animals.  Naturally I imagine some are well meaning while others seem intent on promoting their agenda.
Caring for the environment is ultimately a “must do” thing but it is born of a “want to” thing.  Care to me not only includes cute cuddly animals but people too.  It is a balancing act and important for all.  Harmony does not mean “mono-culture” but “diversity” that sees both human and animal protected and prospering.
So I was really interested to see the latest ad from the Humane World for Animals (formally Humane Society).  It features a song by Peter Gabriel formerly of Genesis called “Solsbury Hill.”
To me it is no wonder they chose the song they did to promote their cause.  The song is very auto-biographical and represents a change in outlook for Peter.  The website https://lyricstories.com/song-meanings/solsbury-hill-lyrics-meaning says “At its core, “Solsbury Hill” is about a life-changing moment that forces someone to leave behind what’s familiar. The lyrics describe a realization so powerful that it can’t be ignored, even if it means stepping into the unknown.  Whether about Peter Gabriel’s departure from Genesis or something more universal, the song captures the struggle of making a big decision. It’s about trusting yourself, breaking free from expectations, and embracing a new path—even when it’s scary.”
Apart from what I have indicated above I share care but as noble as the sentiment may be, it is inadequate.  To me it is like changing the ladder only to find the new one is not fit for purpose.
To me for a start it requires the infinite break through into the finite.  I say for a start as it is my belief that not all infinite has my best intentions at heart.  But that is a whole other thing.   What is think is summarized in the words I find beautiful: When illusion spin her net / I'm never where I wanna be / And liberty, she pirouette / When I think that I am free
What I am seeing at the moment is a desperate attempt to put the world together but each process pulls it more apart.  Caring for all is innate.   The ability to do it requires I rely on more than finite resources. To me the words say it all though there are a couple of addresses that are home.  "… I've come to take you home"
