Animal Rescue by Stuart Wilde
Recently, my friends and I have quite unwittingly become animal rescuers.
I love the birds, they sing to the flowers and trees and their music heals Gaia. I feed them seeds to encourage their presence in the garden.
One day, a handsome black cat appeared at the back door. He was feral and had a bad cold. At first I didn’t want the pussy cat around because he might chase the birds away, but after a while the little fellow was so charming and persistent that he moved in and we called him Snotty. He and the birds soon lived in harmony.
Not long afterwards a woman I know arrived with three beautiful, strong dogs which she had rescued from Ecuador. So, now the sharp-clawed Snotty would sit in the middle of the three poised puppies, completely unperturbed, waiting to be fed. They formed a family.
In the fields nearby lived some abandoned ponies, left by travellers. It became apparent they were not being fed, so they were the next project.
Look around and see if there are animals that need some love – your chickens, the donkey in the field, your pet goldfish. The unconditional love and learning that Snotty and the others have given us is huge.

It's all about "how much you made when you were right" & "how little you lost when you were wrong"
