Advent, Day 5: Can I Offer You A Nice Squirrel

(Day 5 of this year’s Advent series. Yesterday’s piece was about bodies and question marks; today we consider squirrels.)

To paraphrase the immortal words of Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia): Can I offer you a nice squirrel in this trying time?

I mean, these first four days of Advent we’ve already covered topics including: bi-stable states, problem children, maybe-surveillance, and um, a eulogy. So yeah, have a squirrel or two. Heck, take three.

Angels In The Squirrels

This morning – there are angels in the squirrels 
And squirrels in the trees
As nuts and leaves drift down in blessing 
From this holy trinity.

(For years, students of philosophy, physics, and IKEA have all known the real question of the universe is: not how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, but how many can fit in one pecan tree.)
