Nothing in me doubts that there was a true communion going on. I have many stories like this, which I will be sharing because I know how important it is that our hearts learn to open and meld with all critters, no matter what form they take, and that when we do open in such a way, the most improbable things happen. It's not just that I am 'an animal lover.' I am a lover of humans becoming all we can be, and until and unless we re-join our connections with the natural world, of which we are very much a part, we will suffer limitation. The veil between all parts of nature and humans is thinner than ever for those ready to become St. Francis of Assissi's in training. There is so much joy to be had in these connections.
