True Love’s Evolution – Monkey Monogamy
Owl monkeys are tiny South American tree-dwellers that treat every day like it’s Valentine’s Day. A male and a female stick together as long as possible, never cheat, and never “divorce” their mates. But young adult owl monkeys which can’t find mates —monkeys that scientists have dubbed ‘floaters’ — sometimes pick vicious fights with established pairs, eventually kicking one of them out.

Word Cloud: AIR
by NONA BLYTH CLOUD
AIR — it’s all around us, but invisible unless combined with something else. We must have it to live, yet air becomes an alien environment the moment we lift off into it, separating from the Earth.
It is silent when still, but makes everything for miles shriek and roar when its Wind races over land or sea.

The whirling air takes form of dust –
A little hour – to fall again:
So whirling thought takes form of books,
Dust shaken from the minds of men.
— Bookplate by Sharlot Mabridth Hall
