In the beginning......
The animals all stood patiently within this lovely garden, some lazed about, sitting peacefully without worries or care. They are at total oneness with the world around them. Here they were awaiting the rise of the sun in the east. Theirs was a co-existence in perfect harmony with themselves and their surroundings, an innate understanding with each other. They joyfully celebrated life, as the first remnant of light slithered slowly into being, and as they bowed to the creation and start of a brand new day. They have always started their day at the watering hole. Here, in their own way, they commiserated with each other and spoke of their individual plans for the best utilization of each blessed day.

A Green Mile of memories
One of my favorite movies of all time is Stephen King's "The Green Mile". It tells of the great, wonderful gift of second sight and tortured supernatural abilities of a kindhearted, simple and loving man, who though convicted of murder (of which he was innocent, but refused to defend himself against), became loved and cherished by everyone. Here was a great giant of a man, more than six feet tall and maybe over two hundred pounds in weight, but inside him beat the heart of an innocent and gentle child.

A bit of Panaphobia
Like so many others here, there and everywhere, the innate ability to share my personal life is not one of my best traits. I will circumvent the topic and settle on writing a story completely in abstract. Life is made up of choices, we wade into the fray each in our own way.
