Whipping and thrashing, he blindly evades my hand. Why do I persist, toss him still wildly flailing into the wet, saving grass? |

There's a subtle message in this one, and it hit me the second time I read. By human nature, we tend to writhe against intervening powers, when the end result can be salvation. Enjoyed this read...~S~ Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |

You forgot to explain to him that you weren't planning a fishing expedition. *G* I like this very much, my friend... like it even more that you're the type of man to persist in acts of kindness. *S* I've lost count of the number of times I've stopped to help a terrapin across the road... lost count also of the times I've hightailed it back to safety when the harmless terrapin turned out to be a turtle with an attitude! LOL And yassee... I've done it again... you write so much in so few words... I write so little in many. *G* Excellent work! *S* |
