Saying Goodbye To A Gentle Soul

Published: 02-14-2012 11:28am

It's taken me from September 2011 until now to be able to write about Kitty Baby. I know I will never be able to tell her story the way it deserves to be told. Sometime in the early 1990's the sun was shining, the sky was blue and I had our front door open to let in fresh air. I heard a little squeek and decided to check it out.

This baby was so tiny that she couldn't possibly be weened but I decided to try her with a bowl of milk. I could see she was grateful b... » Read More

The Keeper Of The Forest The spider who spins his silky web is considered the keeper of the forrest. Legend says that the Great Spirit gave spider the job of protecting the entry to the Sacred Forest. His job was to spin a web so fine that only the animals and people who lived there could see it in the sunlight. So, spider began to build his web all around the forest. He spun his web just high enough for the animals to pass beneath without getting caught in the web. When the people who lived in the forest saw the sunlight hit the web, they walked around it or beneath it so as not to disturb the fine net Spider ... » Read More
