The Royal Squirrel Family


King Nut of Linderhof

What are the superior qualities of royalty? They are capable, compassionate, considerate of the needs of the whole, and contribute to the harmony of the entire kingdom.
King Nut, great leader of Squirreldom, has said: "Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you." Of course he borrowed these words from Lao Tzu, but that is what makes him such a great leader!


Lord Pete

You may remember the Great Lord Pete, renowned squirrel diplomat and advocate for squirrel welfare. He is known to have said: 

"The career of a sage is of two kinds~ he is either honored by all in the world, like a flower waving its head, or else he disappears into the silent forest."
Lord Pete's great great grand niece is the famous Princess Nubbins. She was loved by the entire court for her sweet countenance and is known for her generosity and compassion to all beings. People would come to the young Nubbins and ask for her guidance.  She is most famous for her teachings on the topic of the Greatest Healing Power in the Universe~ Love!


Princess Nubbins
She would often quote Emmet Fox-Squirrel: 


"There is no difficulty that enough love cannot conquer;
No disease that enough love will not heal;
No door that enough love will not open;
and no wall that enough love will not throw down.
It makes no difference how deeply seeded may be the trouble,
how muddled the tangle, 
how great the mistake,
for the sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
There is no sin that enough love will not redeem, and there is no gulf too wide that love cannot build a bridge over.
If you could love enough, you would be the happiest and the most powerful being in the world."
