OF MEN AND MICE 21 June 2013 There has always been something that has whispered to her in the history and geography and mathematics and biology and languages, body and spoken, and poetry and social graces of things about the sunlight and shadow that dance and meld into the smile that is wisdom to know amongst a million other secrets that it is the little things that tell who is a man and who is a predatory mouse.

well said indeed ! there are (unfortunately) apparently a rather large number of "male monsters" of various stripe 'out there' in the double-post modern' wilderness. hopefully though, there are also, though perhaps a 'vanishing breed,' a few of us chivalrous 'incurable Romantics' left ... |

Yes, hopefully, Bruce. Thank you for your kind words. Smiles. I think I will stick to animals in the future - mine and everyone else's I meet and strays. They are not duplicitous and are open, honest, true and kind and nary a one, neither mine nor anyone else's nor strays, has ever let me down, nor will. Owl |

It can be difficult to tell, especially for me, as I tend to project my needs onto the most convenient "squeak"! ![]() ![]() |

Giggles, Karen. Sometimes, though, mistakes aren't regrettable - and wonderful while they last . . . Smiles. Owl |
