Our local deer are helping me to grow spiritually.
How? Well, this is the time of year when all the vegetation is so dried out that the deer begin eating plants they would usually avoid.
So, the “deer resistant” flowers that I was so excited to plant a few weeks ago? The photos tell the story.
Notice the lush growth in the bottom right of the before pic, and how it’s almost entirely gone in the after photo.
I actually caught a doe and her fawn red-handedly chomping on my butterfly bush one day! As a result I find myself more resentful than appreciative when I see deer around the community.
But then I remember that they’re desperate and I do my best to practice compassion.
Which is how the deer are helping me to grow spiritually!
