Lots. I get that sometimes people react this way as a self-protective response. But I feel like going deeper - past that - is really important. A big <i>yay!</i> for rescuing the baby bird. That's awesome! @Joely – The idea that life – any life – is disposable bothers me. Lots. I get that sometimes people react this way as a self-protective response.

I thought that it was our capacity for compassion, and the way we take care of supposedly hopeless cases that makes us human. Or at least humane. If that argument applies, then we shouldn't bother treating cancer patients or AIDS victims either. That gives me the creeps. I once found a baby bird who had fallen out of his nest while out on a walk. I had no idea what to do with him, so I went to see the veterinarian next door (we lived next door to a vet and kept four rats, how cool is that?) with it. They handed it over to the RSPCA. Because essentially, that's what they're there for. I couldn't in all good conscience leave an animal or person to die. .-= Joely Black´s last blog ..<a href="http://zeninheels.wordpress.com/2009/10/29/a-4-4-1-feeling-like-alice/" rel="nofollow">A 4.4.1: Feeling like Alice</a> =-.

Because it makes total sense. Now it just makes me snicker. And yeah, a great big huge hurray for hope! And hurray for not giving up! @Josiane - I do feel really, really lucky to see awesome people have all kinds of gorgeous stuff happen. Honestly, there's this big sense of gratitude around all of it. I'm almost constantly amazed. Which rocks. @Candace - I loved what you said. And you get the <i>sleeping-in-the-car</i> bit, which I thought totally sucked. And maybe that's a big part of why I feel the way I feel about this stuff. I've been in situations that looked pretty frakking impossible. And somehow it all turned around. So, yeah. <i>Eff the odds.</i> (This has totally become one of my new mantras.) @Jo - Can I just tell you how happy your comment made me? To hear about all the awesome shifting that's happening? <i>Two words: Woo! Hoo!</i> I <i>love</i> that. @Tatty - Yeah, he's an adorable little guy, isn't he? Crazy cute. And crazy amazing. @Steffi - Awesome! I'm glad it struck a chord. It makes me happy to see so many people that get how important hope is. Yay! @Leonie - Thanks tons. It's amazing how many different lessons there are in finding a little cat nugget behind the AC at night, eh? Thanks again to everyone that read this, and share it, and commented here. I appreciate you all tons. @elizabeth – It’s so funny that cat nugget never registered with me that way. Because it makes total sense. Now it just makes me snicker.

I was cuddling with it on my love seat. Later in the dream it was in a puppy pile with my two dogs in the back yard, cuddling...eff the odds indeed, my friend! I too have been lost, abandoned and had the odds stacked against me (did the living in the car thing myself when I lived in San Francisco for a time...) I'll be sending Reiki to little Nugget tonight! You know, I had a dream about a lost kitty (or rather a mountain lion) a few days ago. I was cuddling with it on my love seat.
