a chicken egg <br />is thrown to you <br />by instinct <br />you must catch it, <br /> <br />same thing with <br />a lost kitten meowing <br />for help on the <br />busy street, <br /> <br />you have to take it <br />to your house and <br />feed it, <br /> <br />even a helpless newly born <br />pink skinned <br />mouse, <br /> <br />you see, the theory is this, <br />that kindness and compassion <br />visits you <br />in the guise of all <br />there miserable creatures <br /> <br />as you said, <br />same pain, same fear, <br /> <br />and it will be same <br />empathy that <br />automatically grows <br />in that <br />barren garden <br /> <br />we always wish for <br />flowers...<br /><br />RIC S.
