The Astral Zoo

Meet the animals that roam at night in complete freedom as astral beings. Bill Morris' novel, The Astral Zoo, is a splendid view of zoo animals finding freedom in a zoo that is yet untamed. Though caged during the day, they live as astral beings under the astral sun, playing and finding their real selves at night. But there is a problem in the zoo. The baboons have secured a deadly mirror. "The battle ensues as Tip struggles for life, love, and meaning in a potentially meaningless world. See how it turns out in The Astral Zoo...You may discover a little monkey in yourself " --Pamela Eakins, PhD, author of Tarot of the Spirit "Wherever I looked, I saw baboons walking at ease between buildings, sitting on rooftops, playing in the playground. Somehow this single species seemed to have come to dominate all the zoo. How could such power come from a piece of glass? The astral zoo looked a forlorn place. I hastened my trot to check on Kory's and Jacko's bodies. I wanted to make sure they were still all right. But a strong feeling gripped me as I stealthily crossed the zoo. I finally could stand it no longer. I climbed to the top of a tall pine, one that overlooked all the zoo, above the tiger pit. And from this high perch, I made what I thought might be my last call. I didn't care what baboon heard me." "Oh, Astral zoo, I see you, you animals locked in your cages, forced to sleep by day, forced to travel in darkness by night. I see you, I see you and know, your suffering is great."
