Little Creatures – Dead or Alive

A while ago I went for a night run, call it healthy or leisure stroll. While on the road, a beautiful prideful cat crossed my path and of course, what does anyone do when he or she crosses an animal, slow down and take a look at the beautiful creation nature had in store for us.

So I did just very that, slowed down and tried to do a little introduction of myself to the prideful creature.

Now, we all agree that we have loads to learn from nature, from the honeycomb structures of beehives to the mysterious deep blue seas. What could a tiny cat possibly teach me? For one, i learned that cats greet you with a culture shock, talk to them and they just turn around and face you with their bottoms (not that they would care).

Well…. that aside, it didn’t take me any longer to know this beautiful little creature and soon we were playing on the fields in the middle of the night.

Of course, there are more than cats that are beautiful in nature, there are flora, fauna, insects and the benefits they reap for us – homosapiens with a great sense of humor.

Talk about great sense of humor, everytime you watch an E.R. episode, the last thing that poor chap sees before landing up in the ward is a blinding flash of white light closing in on him (and if the directors finds it not melodramatic enough, “let’s do a re-take!” and the guy just have to face the white lights again).

How does it feel like if you are one of the little creatures of nature and the the last thing you see is a newspaper with the headlines “Surveys report: Local Life Expectancy has increase” closing in on you, or you rise your head and sees a foot long coming down on you?

Definitely not something you see in E.R. all the time mate
