Living a life of compassion, includes being compassionate to all living beings. For most of us when we think of compassion, we think about our fellow man. But remember, some of the most helpless creatures are the wildlife that also need our help. We take nature for granted, sometimes never noticing the animals that co-exist along side of us. When we see a bird or cat on the side of the road, we assume that it has already passed on. Never thinking to check, we continue on with our busy lives. Take the time to stop and give aid to injured animals for they are an important part of the universal energy which flows in us all. Today, reflect upon the word compassion and what it means to you. Know that if you listen very carefully, you will hear your inner spirit guide you to all those who need your help. You may be surprised where you are led.
Sometimes we forget how beautiful wildlife can be...
(Tonight I took an injured bird to a bird shelter. It upset me knowing that the people who found it wanted to kill it. It made me so sad that they actually meant it. What kind of people would harm a bird that quite clearly was not ready to die? Have people become so jaded that they feel killing animals has no consequences? Where was their compassion this evening? I have to think about this a little more because I still don't understand.)
