It is a heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature. Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the truth, and for those who do them wrong.

I've been ... errrrr ... busy. Among other things, I did some tree pruning yesterday (sorry, Heidi, but the fig tree will recover quite nicely!). Had another tree done by someone else this morning, and I'm still staring out the window in shock that there aren't any fir branches hanging down all over the place. Now I have a perfectly unobscured view of ... my neighbor's shed. Which fortunately is mostly screened by a bramble patch populated by various small bird colonies and a rabbit, which is why Da Boy is sharing that prime hunting ground with some sort of smallish hawk. MFJ Once, poets were magicians. Poets were strong, stronger than warriors or kings - stronger than old hapless gods. And they will be strong once again. ~Greg Bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
