Real Set IN 2 THE PRAYING SQUIRREL-
Captured by the nature vision, I made it my discission
to embark on a mission!
To feed the Adamic tribe, those the animals Our Father God has made. I was at my jobs parking lot. A place surrounded by many, many, many trees.
After clocking out, I was walking to my van. As I spied north within my parking stall. Standing straight ever tall--- a sparse rainbowed light black and brown tailed squirrel mildly thin. Standing he was like a question mark, standing like a general in the Army, Special Services...
His face was stern like a mother catching her child being bad in a mischievous act. About 100 feet away closer I walk. The little squirrel just would not run nor walk away. He literally just stayed standing, sitting still.
Approximately closer stilled closer 75, 50, 25, feet 3 feet. Still-Still He didn't move but yet he "LOOKS". Face to face I see in his eyes, yet he's soul less, he hungers, he's alive. I walk to the other side, to not too unravel, or make him run off.
He stands attentive
He stands waits
He stands as I push my electronic key to open my van door. By this time he slowly moves to the front drivers side of my van. Ever so slowly moves. I sit down after opening up my drivers side door.
Slowly I lower my driver side window, I reach down behind me to pick up a plastic container filled with unsalted nuts.---about a quart container
placed my hand inside. I through many, many, many nuts on the ground.
Little hungry squirrel kneel down in prayer mode as a dog he sniffed the ground, when he smell one (some) pick up with mouth, placed the nut in his paws (hands) prayed then nibbled away.
I guess now he's my friend and pet?
