Ode to Matthew the Yak and Escapism…

Folks, this is a great song inspired by a young bull yak we sold to some folks in Florissant CO. He was a bit rambunctious and escaped to the Fossil Beds National Park were we could not drive in and get him. We were able to walk up and feed him a number of times but we could not catch him. Finally his new owner was able to bring him in and Matthew is now happy at this new home. One thing we have learned is that yaks have to know they are home or they will try to go back where they came from, making friends all along the way!

Wounded Yaks

The symbolism of the wounded yak seems obvious, the artist is raising important questions about the fate of Tibet in the People’s Republic of China. Tibetan artists in Tibet have also been using the yak as a symbol of Tibet. Here are artworks by prominent Tibetan contemporary artists. High Peaks Pure Earth readers are invited to be art critics and to give their own interpretations:

Give yaks your children for a day and Yaks Will Own Your Children for Life!

Efforts to indoctrinate children in to the world of yaks pays off! Mackenzie will present, on Friday, 3/6/2009,  that “yaks are going to take over the world!”
It was great to reconnect with old friends and to see their beautiful daughters have fun learning about yaks and sharing with their friends.
