Life is so fragile—yes, very fragile.  It’s hard on one’s heart when there is a death.

This is either a raccoon or a wild/domestic cat. (people are awful at dumping out their unwanted pets; this is usually what happens to them.)

Our earth would be flung into chaos if it weren’t for these ugly scavenger birds — and ravens and crows and magpies (to name a few).

Messy?  Yes.  But thankfully we have them to do all the hard nasty work.

Sigh!

Yugen–a profound awareness of the universe that triggers feelings too deep and mysterious for words. —- noun, Japanese
