Little Miracles





There is something about cats' eyes that makes me stop and think. Actually, it's not just cats' eyes... it's the eyes of all animals. Cats are the ones I live with, so I see them the most often. It makes me think of James Herriott's stories. He took the titles of three of his books from this poem:

"All things bright and beautiful;
All creatures great and small;
All things wise and wonderful;
The Lord God made them all."

I saw this alternative version on the web:

"All things bright and beautiful'
All creatures great and small;
All things wise and wonderful;
Evolution made them all."

I'm not taking sides here; I don't think the two are necessarily incompatible. I regard them as miracles in either case.

As indeed they are. Cats especially! I want to go and take pictures of their eyes right now, but sadly they're all asleep.....
