WILD WOMAN LOSES IT COMPLETELY
Wild Woman was feeling discouraged.
No one was "getting it" - the message
everything in the natural world has
been trying to say, for years.
Then, she met a happy, bouncing black lab
in the park and gave him a treat.
It made her happy.
She watched some Canadian doctors singing
"We Rise Again". They made her cry,
and remember how beautiful
most humans can be.
Top that off with an hour of uplifting stories
from Canadian front lines,
and a cross-country video
of schoolchildren singing Oh Canada,
and she is done for.
Tears, heart all squeezed
and bunchy -
and springing back to life and hope again.
Wild Woman wants to invite
all of her American friends
to move to Canada.
Please. Come up. Be happy
and cared for.
It's nice up here.
Ok now you've made me more jealous than I already was. Canada sounds like a wonderful place to live. If many people are like you, it is a paradise. But, for now I need to stay here in the US. Change what I can.
