The Teaching of the Porcupine

​

​

Many moons ago the Porcupine’s land suffered from the coldest winter ever. As the bitter cold continued many of the animals perished. The porcupines, realizing the dire situation, decided to group together. This way, they covered and protected themselves. Even though they gave off heat to each other, one of the consequences of coming together was that their quills wounded their closest companions.

After awhile, they decided to distance themselves and they began to die, alone and frozen. So, they had to make a choice, either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth.


Wisely, they decided to come back together. This way they learned to live with the little wounds that were caused by the close relationship with their companion. But the most important part, was the life saving heat. This way they were able to survive.


The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people; it is when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good qualities.

PEACE LOVE UNITY RESPECT!!

 

Looks like that little porcy is being strangled...

 

yeah its not a good picture... i probably wouldn't want to just get picked up like that by some huge thing lol
unless we were good friends

 

I think it's a great picture (and a great story) but the poor little thing looks very harassed. Then again, I don't know what a non-harassed baby porcupine looks like, so I have no base line. Nice story, makes me think a lot.

 

That is one of the most beautiful things that I have ever read.
Thank you from the bottom of my hart. It is an honor to rep you.
