P.S.A: An Ever Dwindling Species

Peace and Tranquility are timid beasts. Though many think them to be illusions, mere mythological serendipity, they do exist, though their numbers are fewer than from times past, they can be found, and in unexpected places.

The fortunate news, despite their dwindling population, these beasts are evolving and adapting to this runaway age.

Where once you could find them on the whisper of the wind traveling through every tree that once lined the dirt beaten track, or in the ripple of water playing over stones in a small backyard brook, you can now find them on the rooftops of a moonlit New York city roof, quietly defying the traffic below which will usually threaten the two species with it's angry horns and screeching tires.

Unfortunately, the slaying of these majestic creatures is a favorite past time of man and an incredibly easy activity, one that is said to relieve stress and is considered entertainment to a wild spectrum of people. While a bird's song will easily draw either Peace or Tranquility from their own dwelling places, a harshly spoken word, or the banging of a door can just as easily slay these kind, timid beasts. In fact, children are the most notorious slayers of these great beasts, and this fact is made all the more tragic by the ignorant and careless way children kill them.

I advocate for the protection of these fragile creatures, not only for their own sake, but for the sake of man-kind as well. If you, dear friend, are ever in the position to visit one of these rare creatures, or perhaps, if, on a rare occasion, they ever visit you themselves, I strongly suggest you savour the beauty and absolute magic of these beasts. Care for them with the tender love you would usually reserve for a child.

And finally, dear bloggers, if you can find it within yourself to do so, foster these grand animals, offer them a small portion of your home. Part of the magic Peace and Tranquility offer is their ability to adjust their size to better suit their host.

I beg you to take to heart my words,
Thank you
