Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

In the sports section of the newspaper this morning my husband found an article about the recent fires and how it affects animals.  The news encouraged me.  Birds fly away, and the birds have been spending the season in Mexico (who wouldn't rather do that?!)  The larger animals most get away, and their number one destination is golf courses, where it's green and wet.  The small animals burrow under the ground and wait out the fire (very smart).  And the fish swim to the deepest part of the water, and, like submarines, bide their time until the surface temperature of the water cools down.  So nice to know they have a plan, unlike most humans.  Fire is part of their lives, so they know exactly where to go.  Now, since fire is a fact of our lives where I live, I hope humans will take the hint.

  1. I've known several people who rescue animals during disasters - very impressive. I was reading about someone in California who is helping people rescue their pets right now; maybe that's what Bill saw, too?
