Kindness...

[amaniwolf]

With Spring moving into Summer, this is the point in the year were many animals conceive and in my neighborhood we have a very active cat colony, so that means,...you guessed it, kittens. Last year i managed to find and save 9 kittens, this year the tally has been 5 so far, why do i do it? Hmm....i do it so they'll have a chance at a better life then simply living on the streets, suffering and dying with no chance at a good home. The only time i take the kittens is when i'm sure for one reason or another the Queen,...mother cat, has left them. I do get an earful from people though,....Why are you doing that? You should just leave them alone, their mother is probably around. Even when it's definite she's not. The thing is, they don't want to do anything, so they don't want me to do anything. Odd huh? I don't think it's they're bad people, but we live in a world were we are taught, watch out for number one, and me....i just can't do that. To me one of the greatest sins i could commit, is to have the chance to do something good, and then do nothing at all. That would haunt me more then anything else. So I try and do the right thing, and let God be my judge.

Before the world was made

If I make the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror,
No vanity's displayed:
I'm looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.

What if I look upon a man
As though on my beloved,
And my blood be cold the while
And my heart unmoved?
Why should he think me cruel
Or that he is betrayed?
I'd have him love the thing that was
Before the world was made.

William Butler Yeats
