Cara remembers this great zoo we used to go visit in Providence, RI when my brother used to live there....so we went. We went for the moonbears especially...but it was so stinking hot out today, that they were not in a playful mood. But we did get to spend time with an adorable giraffe couple and got quite attached to the elephants as well. Giraffes and Elephants are usually our priority anyway as Cara loves giraffes and Alyssa loves elephants. As we walked around and looked at all the animals and learned about them....I looked in their eyes...some of them ....and I saw relationships they have with each other and with humans. I realized anew that all creatures have their place in this world. I realized anew that the world is made up of so many and we are all connected in a complex web. We humans have taken control of the world....and I am not so sure we have done such a great job. I tip my hat to those passionate and selfless people who care for and protect animals of all kinds. Today gave me a new appreciation for all life's creatures. Here's hoping I can treat those in my corner with the love and respect they deserve.
"Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That's the problem."
