Tegu: Ancient wisdom for modern life......
Modern life is difficult; unlike in ancient times, when our problems were simple (avoid being eaten, get enough food to avoid starving), today's troubles are numerous, subtle, and seemingly difficult to grasp. Personal issues, shopping, bills, quarrelsome friends, parking, etc. can make one feel truly overwhelmed.
The solution? Ask Tegu! The Tegu is a medium-sized (currently about 2.5 feet long, but growing), terrestrial and omnivorous lizard with a mild temperament and a large appetite for food and sleep. Unlike our own lives, the Tegu lives a live of simplicity, calm, and relative peace. Can we learn ancient wisdom from this animal?
