What if we compensated nature for all that we have ruined?
Restored to her what’s apropos to try to get attuned
to her natural cycles, her balances and rules?
What if we acquired wisdom and ceased to play the fools?
If we wrote a different story, her determining the themes,
shifted ourselves to her side instead of warring teams,
once she saw we were behaving, one future glowing day,
might she lift her restrictions and let us out to play?
Prompts for today are what if, apropos, theme, compensate and ruin.

The paws remind me of when I had three cats and the old lady cat would do this every time I went into the bathroom and shut the door.😄

The paws – Pyshka does this when I oversleep: “Mama, where is my treat?”
Great minds think in unison; I’ve been thinking of the lockdown as a great big time out for recalcitrant children.

My cats used to play closet tag.. one in the closet sticking her paw under the door, the other trying to catch it..So cute.

Totally a propos of nothing but paws: There is a new cat in the alley behind our building. He is meowing in such a heart-wrenching way that I went down on Sunday and gave him food and treats. He is declawed! A neighbor told me that he used to belong to a family who moved away and just left him. We can’t take him (three cats in a tiny apartment already), and I don’t know what to do but to feed him and give him love. But he is unprotected out there – I am so mad!

Totally unfair to declaw pets. I’d take him if I could get him here. Heartbreaking. Can you advertise on Facebook or someplace? Surely someone would take him.

Both my neighbor and I advertised on Neighbors (our community board). No takers so far, but we are hoping.

Thanks for feeding him.

Did you think I would leave him hungry? He is crying – literally! – and it breaks my heart.

Oh, mine too..How in the world can people desert animals like that? I’ll never understand. No I don’t think you would. Just thanking you for it.
