Kittens

There are several adorable calico kittens at the Post Office. I think I would like to bring one home, but they are far too skittish to come anywhere near me, scattering instead at the first sound of feet or car tires. I wish I could explain to them that I want to help them, feed them and love them - not hurt them.

Sometimes people are like that too: we shy away from new people (or places, or sometimes ideas) - afraid that we don't understand them or their intentions and that we might get hurt; never realizing that we might be missing something which is for our ultimate best interest. I plan to take a lesson from the kittens and try not to be so skittish.
