I remember when I was little, watching spiders wrap their "victims" in their webs, in preparation for their next meal. I used to try to "release" the little creature, but it was always too late... now I understand (I think), that is all part of "the circle of life" (and death). And, there have been times when I have taken that bite of a drumstick, that I have made myself imagine that chicken, when it was still alive, and running around the chickencoop, enjoying life. Makes me more appreciative, and more mindful of what I am ingesting. :)<BR/><BR/>Thanx for sharing such a profound story.Treehuggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678945930364671622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18239868.post-76619295962945518752008-08-27T09:38:00.000-04:002008-08-27T09:38:00.000-04:00This must be the time of the year for this behavio...This must be the time of the year for this behavior to occur.
