A Squirrel was Crossing the Road
Continuing with the Squirrel theme, I almost ran over a squirrel today on my scooter. To evade me, it darted back from whence it came. I was not expecting that reaction. Turns out that instinctively, they to go back to their “safe spaces.” How often do we do same rather than face our fears ??…
