Road Warriors

As the holidays approach I see people driving faster and faster. Today a deer lay across the side of the road. The elk lay a mile down from that. A racoon splattered on the yellow lines. A coastal bird mashed into the side where bikes are to ride. A dog rotting in the grass. A mouse flicking to its death. Then the sky was filled with Geese and I wept. Telling my self today is a good day, at least we all don't fly yet.
This season, could you slow down. Can you look out for every creature. Can you just stop and look around. What would this planet be with out all the other life forms? They have families their trying to feed and get back to. Slow down and let them pass. Use your horn most of them will move. Yell at them, they might listen. Stop and think if that was your pet. What would you want a driver to do? We may have laid the black top, but we didn't consider the rest of the planet when we did.

Killing is not kindness in action. Road warriors; slow down this holiday season and think of the other creatures. Be kinder in your travels Road Warriors.
