Thank you for sharing such a heart-touching piece! Your story of how you found peace and gratitude while facing tough times really got to me. It's solely focused on giving up control and easily agreeing to what happens, through the spectacular encounters you've had with animals, and it is completely certain. This takes me back to when I was younger, living in the country.

Around there, animals were everywhere, teaching material all the time. Your tale sticks with me especially because I write horror short stories. In them, I delve deep into the whole idea of letting go and how Mother Nature lingers without anyone stopping her.

One may immerse themselves in the knowledge that stories like yours can really show someone how to be open to the ups and downs of life.
