Are you an animal-lover?

One day I found a squirrel lying on the ground. At first I thought it was dead. But then I noticed it was hurt. I checked to see if there was a bleeding wound. There was none. So I wondered what could have happened to this cute little creature. I tentatively picked it up, as gently as I could, since I did not know the nature of the injury. I held the squirrel in my palm and started talking to her. I asked, “Why baby? What happened?” And suddenly, as if responding to my question, the squirrel squeaked. Though I did not understand what the squeak meant, I felt the squirrel receive my love. I noticed some birds above hovering to probably prey on her. I did not want to leave her on her own when she was so weak.

I did not feel like putting her down, so I started sending healing energies to the squirrel. I prayed for her recovery if it was meant to be. And if she had to pass on, then I prayed that it happen smoothly. It was nearly 10 mins that I was holding the squirrel, giving her healing energies. And whenever I spoke to her, she would respond with a squeak. It was very touching to see the animal respond to love. I felt love overflowing from my heart to this little creature.

After a while she closed her eyes. It seemed as if she had passed on. I checked for the heartbeat by gently placing my thumb against her entire chest. There was no flutter. I spoke to her, called out to her. She didn't respond anymore. I put her in a corner and I knew the birds above would feast on her. I knew it was nature’s way of eliminating dead organic matter. I was glad I didn't leave her there earlier as I knew the birds would have preyed on her even as she was alive. I was glad I could give her love in her last moments and help her have a painless death.

I felt peaceful. I decided to write about this. I repented not having taken a picture of her. At that moment, I was too engrossed with the entire experience of connecting to nature and receiving a response from her. I took my bus home and on the way thought about it. I felt good. I believed that was unconditional love. I always knew I was an animal lover.

Just before this expansive feeling could inflate my ego, a question popped in my mind. “Would I have picked up the animal if it was a dying rat?” Even the thought of it sent a shudder through my spine. I knew I would have walked away. I felt ashamed to admit that to myself. But that was the truth. I saw the squirrel as a cute little creature that eats nuts and fruits. So I could easily get myself to pick her up and hold her with love. A rat would have been out of question. Then I asked myself, “Can I then really call myself an animal lover? Did I really express unconditional love?”

Perhaps I could call  myself a “pet-lover”. But to say I am an animal lover is a blatant lie.
