Kitten Season, Homeless Pups

8/4/13 
Kitten Season, Homeless Pups,
Adoption 

A myriad of little faces with glistening eyes and bright whiskers.
Some indifferent or distracted in their cages, others rushing hopefully to see you 
If you have the heart to look...
Each forlorn in their own way,the result of human manipulation gone awry.
In this safe, holding place now, because of the kindness of others.

We breed other sentient beings to receive love 
Sometimes we forget that they belong to us forever
We put them out on the street,throwing them away, when they grow to be inconvenient

We forget to protect them from unwanted birth 
They multiply on their own,
living a life 
of urban wilderness and surviving as best they can Becoming a nuisance to be captured and exterminated.

Inextricably linked to them, we are the elder brothers and sisters of life on Earth.
We are the stewards of these little souls. 
They belong to us and we to them, profoundly and eternally. 
Offering them well-being and a chance for a wholesome life,heals us all. 
Opening our hearts, we make the universe whole.

Whatever is in your heart, to do for our fellow creatures, 
please do.

Breathing in I have arrived 
Breathing out I am home.

Breathing in I see the bounty of life around me
Breathing out I am grateful for other beings

Breathing in I open to their presence
Breathing out I invite them into my heart.

Breathing in I take their suffering
Breathing out I send lovingkindness

Breathing in I see clearly
Breathing out I act to heal


May this information benefit you, those you love, and all sentient beings, everywhere.
