I have also had this particular experience with animals. It is amazing to see how utterly and completely they surrender themselves to their life. Yes, even the last breath is still an act of pure life... What a beatiful way to see our own existence! I have also had this particular experience with animals.

Vitor, It is interesting to hear that you have had similar experiences! I tend to wonder if animals are all perfectly enlightened and the only creature the 'joke' is being played on is we humans ;) By the way, your website is very exciting -- not just for its content, but also because Rebecca and I are trying to learn Spanish, and your site has provided a wonderful new resource where we can practice our reading and also be excited by the content! We're staring with the fractals . . . Sweetwater, Kenton Greetings sof theo,
My pleasure.

I must say that I simply loved the way you expressed that. Amazing that you can sense the one-on-one relationship in a medium that is usually interpreted as 'one speaking to many'.

Such a sad incident and yet you managed to make it spiritual. I've always had rage against people who do cruelty towards animals, whether intentionally or otherwise. You've showed how to turn that into a peaceful moment, and accepting whatever that happens. Thanks a lot for that. Another brilliant post Rev.

I know it's easy to feel angry at people for their treatment of other creatures. In my other life, I was going to be a radical environmentalist =) Boy did I have some plans to protect the trees and squirrels and caterpillars! I guess at some point I thought that maybe if people weren't inflicting self-harm, that might encourage them to be a bit more considerate of the rest of the world. A little bit of that flavor of energy probably aided in the development of this site. Thanks for the wonderful comment, and your thoughtful words. Sweetwater, Kenton Greetings Rahul!

I know that I could not have experienced this without crying, not in anger but in loss. Such a sad and usless loss of beauty. But I applaude your connection with the deer and I think it must have helped to feel you near. Nice blog.
