I WAS THERE AND I BLOGGED THE WHOLE THING

Animals In Distress

Two sparrows flew into the coffee shop which created pandemonium. These sparrows, as sparrows do, were trying to fly out through the hard glass window, which may be invisible but won't let little birds out. A heroic man grabbed the birds in his hands and threw them into the sky.

Oskar caught a mouse. This is significant because this type of event has never happened here. Someone was afraid of mice and there was screaming involved. The cat was thrown into the bathroom with mouse in mouth and was allotted a certain time period to do his killing. His time was not used effectively and we have to get on with our lives here, which means that we need use of the bathroom. The mouse was transported via a tissue box to the back balcony. In a state of shock, injuries and probably sadness, the mouse stumbled to the edge of the balcony and fell off. He died alone and cold with Anna May Henry watching him from behind a curtain. 

If you're anything like me you take these events very seriously. Like the way that you have a conversation with your friend, the world is trying to talk to me with symbolic experience. What does it mean when there are animals in distress?

Marc told me that every time cardinals come to his mothers backyard, three people in her life die.
