Lovely, poignant piece. I've become so much more aware and connected to non-human creatures since losing my cat companion, Zorro. See something of his silent gaze and stance in not just the cats, dogs and chickens I come across but also snails, moths etc. Just the common language of all that don't speak our tongue.

Thanks for sharing, Reena!

Thank you Richa! And that is such a lovely, lovely thought. So sorry for losing Zorro. I remember him well. I loved this notion, "something of his silent gaze and stance in not just the cats, dogs and chickens I come across but also snails, moths etc...."

This was lovely, Reena. I especially related to the silent conversation with the worm. Snails, worms, and squid figure fairly prominently in my novel and I treasure these exchanges.

Thanks Reena 🙏, keep provide such a great masterpiece:)
