They sleep encircling twin narrow trunks of an aging potted fig, nestled into cool moss that needed trimmed before they arrived and claimed it as their napping garden. Unaware orphans, sheltered only because I mistook the reflection from their eyes and believed myself a giant. Imagine that. |

Tuanting LongJohnAg I assume! If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Duncan... Is it we think ourselves giants, or is it that we feel the heart to shelter the helpless that through no fault of the own are placed in harms way? The weakness ( if there is one) is the fear of the pain that comes with parting from such... Good to see you writing... |

Duncan, if you are a giant, you're a gentle giant. Those cats are so lucky to have you to take care of them. _,,,^.^,,,_ |

I always take in strays. Don't know what it is about them. Maybe it's that they are very accepting of me. A |
