~my good deed for the day~, originally uploaded by ~mintas.fotos~.

ok...
so...i was out getting groceries in the heat of the day yesterday...
& saw this little guy dash across the busy road....
& then dash back.....
as i was quickly buzzin by...
i noticed he was having a hard time getting back up on the curb & sidewalk....
& it broke my heart......all i could think of was his little feet getting burned....& the fear he mustve been experiencing....

so .....i turned around ......park my car down the way a bit...& walked back searching for him....
knowing that i might walk up on a squished critter.......
1/2 of me was say "u really dont want to see that...u're gonna look silly crying by the side of the road".....
& the other half was saying "but if you can save him....well....that's just the right thing to do ....
((thinking of right mindedness ...laws of buddhism))

so.....i found him.....scared out of his little mind.....picked him up & put him in the tree so the birds flying around wouldnt scavenge him if he was going to recover.....

took his little picture & went home.....
i'm sure he died......from the trauma & possibly the fright.....
but at least it wasnt as he burned & watched in terror as a tire came to roll over him......
