Windows to the Soul

Picture taken from my front porch after this mother bear robbed my bird feeder. Her half-grown cub was gone by the time I got the picture of mama.


Poem Artwork

 

“Do wild bears have souls?”
Very few hearts will ask,
Unless those burning holes
Sear you from her mask.

Chills tickle your nape
As the red embers disclose,
There is no path of escape --
The wrong one you chose.

You have just shown eloquently and graphically that they do indeed have souls. Thank you for that arresting experience.

Dearest Leland,

You have been blessed with a most precious moment in time. Even through the camera lens, you looked her in the eye and captured her soul.

Love & Light,
Joseph

Leland that's a big bear, I had no idea you lived in the woods. <smile> Do you have a cat to chase the bears away? They are still magnificent creatures and I do think they have souls. Why would soul be wasted on man alone? Makes me wonder. Peace, love, and blessings to you and yours. <Mikii>

My word! That's a big one. Bears seem to be coming closer to civilization all over the place. Last year there were 6 or 8 caught here in the valley looking for food, and taken back up to the mountains.
