THIS POST IS DEDICATED TO LYSANDER. @--->-->-----

Today I saved a life and destroyed one.

Whilst walking outside this morning I saw an innocent snail trying to cross the sidewalk as the sun was rising above the houses. Knowing the inevitable, I politely picked him up and explained to him the reason for my rude interruption of his journey. Then, I placed him safe and sound amogst the bushes. I think he understood.

When I walked inside, I decided to stop by lizards cage because I suddenly realized that I had neglected him for several days. When I tapped on the cage, there was no movement. Then in the fake leaves I saw a tail and some toes terribly withered, and realized the inevitable - he had died. I had waited too long to feed him - I suddenly realized how long it had been and what I had done. I don't think he understood.

I wish I could have explained to him what happened. I wish I could say I am sorry. When you think about it, I deprived him life just as easily as someone could deprive me of it. All in all, I did a horrendous thing to one of the Creator's individual masterpieces. I personally erased a little melody from this earth - I am not the Great Composer and therefore have no right to do so.

I am sorry Lysander, and I hope that you are in a much better place right now. May your song be eternal...
