The Simple Things

In life, its the simple things that make some smile. Just like this photo of the baby red fox. To me, it's a reminder that life is fragile and that we must appreciate the most of the time that we are given. Even in the fox's eyes, it's like looking into the eyes of a human baby, looking for  love, for someone to take care of it, to feed it, and nurture it . Everything has a purpose in life, from the largest to the smallest.

There is a balance between life and death. It's easy to take for granted that we, as a human race, have all the time in world to do what we want, to live the way we want, that death will be waiting for us years and years from now. What matters the most is that when that time comes, that we have the support and the love of family and friends who will be there for us, not just through the transition, but to always be there for us to get us through the hard times, picks us up and keeps us focus on the things to that are important and vital in order for us to survive.

Imagine how that baby fox must feel having to survive in a world that is constantly changing around him and how he must adjust in order to be able to make it through to the next day. Nature is not only a thing of wonder and beauty, but it can also be dark and dangerous; not much different from the world in which we live in today.

With the wars, famine, murder, and such running rampart in the world today, the way in which we look at and how we react to it, will play a role in determining how our children will view and respond to their world when they grow up.

My hope is that the longer I am living, the better person I become; the more I live, the better I love.


Until we meet again,
