My wife and
I both happen to have had relatives who fought for the opposing sides during
the Civil War, and curiously enough, both passed through Cedar Key. As a
result, one weekend we took a road trip, and stayed overnight on the island.
While we were there, I substituted walking for biking,
and went out just before sunrise and walked about 3 miles. On my way back to my
room I came across a small cat in my pathway along the road, and it just sat
there, and I bent over and petted it, and said, "Little one, if I could
take you home with me, I would."
I have so often thought about how we are placed here to
practice those little random acts of kindness, even with the least of these,
the world's animals, and how that at least for that one moment in time, that
little kitty knew that someone cared enough to pause a moment and exercise a
little love.
