When the weeding was done I filled my green waste bin and started rolling it back up the path. It was quite heavy and as I paused to get a better grip, I noticed that the bin was leaving an ugly smear in its wake. Expecting a squished plant I paused to inspect and to my utter horror I saw that it was the remnants of the cute little lizard. It had hidden beneath the bin and gotten crushed as I moved it. I was dismayed . . . and after my immediate ‘oh no’ feeling faded, I just felt guilty.
doesn’t matter that, more often than not, these events are accidental, and in the moment of occurrence most likely out of our control.
Awesome article. Totally inspiring. I love the William Blake quote.
