In keeping with my African theme please meet Mr. Kat. Actually Mr. Meerkat. This young animal has become separated from his troop and is in rather bad spirits as it were. Right after I took his photo he feigned an attack at me and then left rather abruptly. I suspect he blamed me for the separation and was making his feelings known. As no blood was let I felt both relieved and.......amused?

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
