Gemini, Oregon's two faced kitten has died....
This is sad news indeed.
It's funny how a two faced kitten can simultaneously generate both revulsion and tenderness within me.
That's how the war news from Iraq always hits me too. I feel enormous revulsion for the violent loss of life and limb, and I feel achingly tender toward all those who have suffered.
No, I'm not comparing the loss of human life and dignity with that of a small, barely formed kitten....it's just that the combined feelings of revulsion and tenderness seem so oddly joined.
Don't mind me, I'm having one of those "streams of consciousness" kind of days. On days such as these, random thoughts, some better than others, constantly flit across my internal thought scanner.
Two faced kittens, Iraq, revulsion and tenderness....I wonder what comes next?
