Otter Therapy

It was disappointing to see the new regime in Libya start exactly where the old one left off. The destructive cycle of hate marches on. Maybe I am being naive but it seems like so many of our problems could be easily solved by taking just a single step. An act of kindness has more power than an act of hatred but seeing that potential can be difficult.

A few months ago I read an article about a litter of orphaned otters at the Valley Zoo. Their mom died of cancer shortly after their birth. After seeing the pictures in that article I realized that the only thing in the world cuter than an otter is a baby otter. Those cute little guys can bring clarity to anyone’s perspective. We need more otters.
