My Toxic Animal Love Affair
I am an animal lover. I love anything nature oriented and creatures of this earth are gloriously spiritual that my soul is inclined to mingle and connect with them- to my detriment as a young child. See, as a kid I would see an animal and run towards it to pet it. I would have even run after a snake just to hug it and kiss it to show it just how much this human loves it. Of course no snake let me anywhere close for me to exercise my toxic love trait, thank goodness! They saved me from early childhood mortality and a statistic to be studied in schools and stories to be told by the fire place. I pay homage to the slithering reptiles! I am forever grateful. I have come to accept that my toxic trait is smothering with love! I will love anything that has life. Add trees to that list. Yes! I am a tree hugger which makes me out to be a mad woman. I don't care. I love all living creatures.... I need to have a caveat though! Lizards do not make the list. Why you may ask? Buckle your belts...
