I met Sr Iris SSND for lunch today. I took along my photo album from my time at Walter Reed and introduced myself and my family. I told her of how pivotal that time was. Jason's injury changed my life and who I am for ever.
While we were eating a little sparrow flew and sat on our table. He continued to do so probably for the hour we were eating and talking. He was asking for some of my bread which I placed on the ground. I have never had a bird do that before.
Since moving to KY I seem to becoming more at peace within myself and animals come to me. When I walked this evening, each time I passed this brown dog, he would come to me to be petted. His person said, "Found a new friend?" to him.
I had my neighbor cat come and see me today. She came in and checked the apartment out-her second time at this. I feed her catnip treats. She ate some and wanted me to scratch her ears and pet her. Although a very small cat, she sure can purr.
I felt like St. Francis and the animals and I like it. I can't have any of my own, so God's Providence gives me visits regularly. When I visit with Connie I will be taking care of her kitty who is a real sweetie. I bought cat treats and a toy to take with me.
Blessings on each of you and all the pets in your life.
May we come to know that we are all equal beings on this planet. We depend on each other. And we who know have the responsibility to care for the earth and for all our fellow beings who cannot do the work.
