(I have been a big fan of NPR for many long yrs now... tho my drive to work is much shorter now, than it has been in years' passed, and so I don't get to experience that same luxury of listening as I drive to work each day.) How wonderful that this small creature should touch the humanity of each man, so powerfully. Would that we would respond so deeply, when we see another human who is suffering or in need. Jesus had a powerful point to make, when he spoke of our treatment of "the least of these"....Treehuggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678945930364671622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3379561194571607372.post-32944589270034600602008-09-29T07:24:00.000-07:002008-09-29T07:24:00.000-07:00Roberta, I maintain Troy's blog and am so delighte...Roberta, I maintain Troy's blog and am so delighted to see you shared this story with your readers. I am amazed at the response this simple story has garnered. As a friend of mine said today, "It is a simple idea, but when you read it you think, 'How could I have forgotten?' And when you read it in the context of prison, you think, 'How could he have remembered?'" I look forward to getting to know your blog.<BR/><BR/>Maryann GormanFriends of Troy Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04369949485936818075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3379561194571607372.post-6472517289583565042008-09-29T03:50:00.000-07:002008-09-29T03:50:00.000-07:00Powerful story Roberta.Powerful story Roberta.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057094040409159429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3379561194571607372.post-13743048082056652112008-09-28T21:06:00.000-07:002008-09-28T21:06:00.000-07:00Beautiful and so transparently apparent to those o...Beautiful and so transparently apparent to those of us who know the magic that one small creature can weave. I often ponder the ripple effects of such simple presence when I'm schmoozing with any of my cats ... or embracing another human ...<BR/><BR/>There seems to be an instinctive empathy that creatures like stray cats evoke in us. All of my cats have been "rescues" -- and I think it's a mutual thing, this rescuing ...<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Roberta!Jaliyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868006713291780694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3379561194571607372.post-22406102612737548772008-09-28T20:12:00.000-07:002008-09-28T20:12:00.000-07:00Great article, Roberta!
