I wondered if she had left her belongings near the pole which is the only reason I could think of for anyone to walk towards the pole - and watched her. She picked up something from the road and went to her side of the road. When I got closer,l i saw that she was holding a squirrel which was the one that got caught in the electric pole and got a big shock.
She was caressing the squirrel which lay lifeless in her hand. I stopped and asked her and she said that the squirrel got an electric shock and fell from the pole. Then she told me that there had been another incident recently but that squirrel had survived. She took it to a puddle and gave it water. I left her then, telling her that perhaps this squirrel would survive too and she nodded hopefully.
On my next round i could see her walking away from a distance and couldn't resist taking a far shot of this young woman of 25-30, her love for life, her compassion, her priorities in life. No one else had moved, just she, walking purposefully towards the electric pole and the squirrel. How nice that such people exist who share such love for animals or any form of life without getting paid. How nice for the squirrel to know it was cared for in its distress and pain.
One act of love in all this madness is all one needs to get back hope, faith and belief. Well done young lady. I know you will get rewarded for your selfless acts of Love.
