THOUGHT FOR TODAY..........TELL ME WHAT I AM!!.....Sometimes we are seen differently from what we think we are, and misconceptions in the animal kingdom are also present. Life can be frustrating if you are born without one of your senses, and can also put you into the path of eminent danger. Imagine, if you will, a rabbit and a snake racing along a pair of intersecting forest pathways, when they collide at the intersection. They immediately began to argue with one another as to who was at fault for the mishap. When the snake remarked that he had been blind since birth, and thus should be given additional leeway, the rabbit said that he too, had been blind since birth. The two animals then forgot about the collision and began commiserating concerning the problems of the blind. The snake said that his greatest regret was the loss of his identity. He had never been able to see his reflection in the water, and for that reason did not know exactly what he looked like, or even what he was. The rabbit declared that he had the same problem. Seeing a way that they could help each other, the rabbit proposed that one feel the other from head to toe, and then try to describe what the other animal was. The snake agreed, and started by winding himself around the rabbit. After a few moments, he announced, Youve got very soft, fuzzy fur, long ears, big rear feet, and a little fuzzy ball for a tail. I think that you must be a bunny rabbit. The rabbit was much relieved to find his identity, and proceeded to return the favor to the snake. After feeling about the snakes body for a few minutes, he asserted, Well, youre scaly, youre slimy, youve got beady little eyes, you squirm and slither all the time, and youve got a forked tongue, I think that youre a lawyer!.............So you see, we can appear to be many different things depending on how others see us. Perhaps their description of what they see and hear, is much different than what we see and hear in ourselves. Today, let the real you, be appreciated for what you are.
