Sept. 24, 2004 As I've said, I live with the Innocent critters, watching their every move and all they do for each other and for me, without being asked and just seen needed. Helping each other Encouraging the sick and the hurt. They are Amazing !!!!! Watching them, Living with them and learning so much from them. And then seeing and watching, listening to the outside world of the human race, the human race has really lost thier way of how life was meant to be and should be lived, each day. So many people don't live by what's necessry to live, The Heart!!! Very few stop and put the shoe on the other foot before saying and doing things to others. Very few think about how to avoid a situation or from causing one to become larger and so unnecessarily out of whack, out of control and very hurtful to all. Taking a deep breath, biting the tongue, turning and walking away, is so much the way that it should be done. Very few see that. Very few see someone hurt down and out on life and will do anything to help. Even just a little smile works wonders. A friendly, "Hi how are you doing today?" The things that it takes to get someome through the day may be that smile, that hello you speak or the wave of the hand, can make someone know that they are someone " 'cause God don't make no junk" as I was once told on my down and out day, by a stranger. Made me cry, only because it was nice for someone to say that to me. I was feeling pretty well alone, and they made me feel a whole lot better about myself. They didn't look down their nose at me. That was nice and made my day. We shouldn't look down our nose at anyone ever. We may not understand or something may not be our way, but we shouldn't comdemn or ridicule, hurt anyone in anyway just because they are different, living differently from ourself. We are individuals. All too few think about that one day their world may come crashing down on them or that they will be out in the middle of nowhere and out of gas or have a flat tire or an overheated vapor locked engine and all so often people just look and walk away. No one stops to lend a helping hand or to even ask, "Are you ok?". Same with those like myself that are willing to help the animals that need homes and I can tell you it is so much work to take care of them. I get tired somedays and just wish someone would come and help. Many times there are those that have their hearts in the right place, but too need a helping hand. No one offers that helping hand knowing that these fokes are being kind to try and do what they can for the critters. And then when it does get a little behind or as once a woman had gotten ill and couldn't get up out of bed and no one came there to help her, instead they called the autorities and that is how they found the sick and elderly woman, which is a good thing but too, why hide behind the officials? Can no one go there and knock on the door and say "Hey! Are you ok?" Is there anything I can do to help? " I once was told here about a woman that had a few animals that she had taken in and she had asked the phone guy that was the one who told me about her for a sack of food for her cats. Instead he calls me and says "This woman needs some help, Here's her address and her name." So I went up there and brought her cats some food and did that for a while for her. Offered her some help in cleaning her house. That, she refused, but was very grateful for the food. We need to learn to live by the "Keeper of Life" The Heart, which without, there is no life. What a wonderful world this would be. This following poem I wrote during a very troubling time in my life. I hope that more people will listen and remember these words and practice living them, as well. The brain, an empty organ, which, as we grow, is filled with knowledge and memories. The heart, the keeper of life, an organ filled, with emotions, which, it releases, slowly, one by one, as we grow. The heart, teaches the brain, emotions. So... Always, use the words, taught the brain, To... Speak, for the feelings, inside your heart. Listen, not only with your ears, but your eyes, as well, to others, expressing the emotion being felt, in their heart. And... Feel, in your heart, as their heart feels. But... If your heart, has not yet taught, that emotion, being felt and expressed by others, One day, it will, and, You then, will understand. ------------ About the author Tracey Lin Kilgore: I write from my heart as the words are given to me.
