Humans and Other Creatures

These seven short stories were written randomly over a long period of time, and were all responses to seemingly insignificant incidents in life. If there is an underlying theme to the tales, it is that life is both strange and varied, and yet forms a cohesive whole. The stories range from the whimsical, to the poignant, to the mildly philosophical. As humans, most of us derive comfort from predictability and conformity, but as Hamlet says: "And therefore as a stranger give it [strangeness] welcome. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." (Hamlet Act 1, scene5, 159-167)
Contents:
Small Things: It's the seemingly small things in life that make it bearable.
Movin' On: There are few true obstacles; we hold ourselves back from what we are meant to become.
Christmas Dinner: There is never an appropriate time to give up hope.
Wedding Cakes: We are surrounded by patterns and if we pay close attention, we can actually see some of them.
Kali: For every point of view there is an opposite and equally valid one. Right and wrong are sometimes difficult to decipher.
Mr Cat and Molly: We should beware of falling into the trap of thinking that, because we can't see or hear something, it isn't really there.
Other Creatures: Are we really top of the food chain?
