I remember a true story I read long ago of geese flying over a frozen pond. A duck was frozen struggling in the pond. As the writer told  the flock of geese flew down and pecked the ice around the duck freeing it from certain tragedy.

And so as I write this I ponder how rescuing is kindness in motion. I’ve made so many mistakes in my life as we all do but rescuing animals, helping those children and adults less fortunate brings me humbleness and joy.

To me, the angel writer, bitterness, harmful words, and cruelty  casts shadows on us all. If we all sought to help others less fortunate and especially those with no voice like children and animals wouldn’t life bring  more joy?

I wasn’t at the pond that day long ago witnessing the geese rescue the duck but thankfully I will always save it as a treasured memory of the written word. I can picture angels nearby surely watching with joyous celebration.
