Paying Attention

When the snow

falls upwards

floating toward

the sky

I will celebrate

all those who

live and take joy

in the living

but when

the squirrels

hide their nuts

in coat pockets

I will mourn

all those lost

never to be found

and when beavers

fix potholes

I will rejoice

with all those

who have found

true love

Please don’t forget

to lay flowers on graves

when hawks fly low

to pay their regrets

Becoming a Social Worker

I found these ads on Facebook.  I still can’t understand the mentality behind them.

It looks like someone went to a pet shop ans took some pictures.  They have nothing to do with social work – unless there are social workers at the pound?

This is very cute, but who knows – maybe orphaned deer do need a social worker.

This however:

This isn’t really that appealing. It is in fact grotesque.  There are more adds – these are just part of the animal collection.
