After writing over five hundred Blogs and two Books, with four other Books in the works. I decided to use the experience and rewrite all my older Blogs. The following is one of my first hundred Blogs;
Human Danger
Human Danger: A Tale of Trust and Betrayal
On a gray autumn day, a heron with feathers of platinum gray chose me as a friend. In the wild, humans aren’t trusted; to us, they become pets. This heron allowed me to photograph it, almost close enough to touch. After I had scared it with my camera lens, it decided to perch on the hedge fifteen feet away. There, it stayed the entire time I wrote this blog, making eye contact with me like a chicken hawk or an intrigued eagle.
Not mad, not aggressive, only intent on letting me know that we’re all here on this planet together. Though he can’t trust me to perch on my shoulder without fear, he did allow me to come closer. I pushed my lenses into video mode and fed him bread, which he didn’t need. He walked away from me, only to return, this time within ten feet, where he stayed until I left. Is this love that I am feeling? After a while, he ate the bread because he was comfortable that I would not do anything to hurt him. You hear stories about people making pets out of wild animals, such as tigers, and you wonder how they could trust them. Well, my friend, the shoe is on their foot trusting us.
We are the only species that kill for fun and for no other reason than uncontrolled rage and hate. So why should they ever trust us? Look at the fine cats we wear on our backs, the fine ivory that sits on our shelves. We are forever swimming against the tide of natural balance. That’s why when a different species befriends me, I shudder with chills, knowing that they use their exceptional senses to feel me out and know that they are safe around me, not judging me to be like all the others. I have a long history of being befriended by all of God’s creatures, like the time sitting on the river banks and being surrounded by hundreds of cardinals who have been known to be aggressive, yet not one attacked.
Another time, while traveling in northern Pennsylvania, driving a company truck to deliver building supplies to a job site in Erie, a Canadian gross hawk dive-bombing its prey from high up in the sky misjudged the moving truck, slammed into its side, bounced off, and landed in the woods. I immediately pulled over and ran to its rescue. My coworker, out of curiosity, ran over to the injured bird. When we caught up to it, we were both sharing a sight of wonderment. The hawk had a six-foot wingspan and talons bigger than my big hands. My coworker quickly backed off from helping the wounded bird, saying, “This thing will kill us both for fun.” As I said before, only humans kill for fun.
I ran to the truck for water and ice. I have always known how to administer first aid since I was nine years old. I stuck my hand out to inspire goodwill, and he waived his huge talon at my hand. I realized that if I was going to help, I first had to get him to trust me. I gave him water and food, knowing he would enjoy raw chicken. A bond was now formed; we were now friends. Administering first aid was easy. I made a bed in the back of the truck and placed this huge bird of prey there, not worrying that it could cut my throat with one swipe of its talons. I took this majestic and fearsome bird to the job site, opened the truck’s gate, and everyone ran. I felt like my name was Tarzan when I extended my hand, and this bird, who had never before come in contact with a human, came to me. He knew that I could be trusted. When it came time to set this majestic creature free, my coworker wanted to keep it as a pet. I told him, “That’s the way humans are. That is why they don’t trust us. If they can’t domesticate it, they kill it.” The hawk was set free after I reminded my coworker that having possession of an endangered species carried a five thousand dollar fine and five years in prison.

About the Author
In the timeless words of Henry Brooks Adams, “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” Embracing this profound wisdom, I believe that a life well-lived is one marked by the continuous exchange of knowledge and wisdom. As the author, I echo the sentiment that if you’ve journeyed through life without imparting something meaningful to the next generation, be it through teaching or learning, you’ve merely existed, not truly lived. Through my writings, I aspire to contribute to the tapestry of wisdom, leaving an imprint that resonates beyond the confines of time. I have written over five hundred Blogs, many dealing with Parenting, Relationships and Safe Driving with the hope that someone will benefit from them. Facebook inspired me to start writing, my first Blog sixty words long was posted on Facebook. From that day on I knew that Social media was a tool to share Knowledge. In the process of writing this Book, I have learned that you can face life, no matter what it throws at you. It’s all about resiliency of the human spirit.

You don’t have to stay
Here are excerpts from my Book that’s on the Drawing board, titled, ” You don’t have to stay”
Chapter 3: Love’s Second Chances. The heart has a way of leading us down unexpected paths, sometimes weaving intricate stories that challenge societal norms and preconceived notions. In this chapter, we delve into the transformative power of second chances in love and relationships. Rebounding Hearts. Life has a remarkable ability to surprise us, and often, the greatest surprises come from the most unlikely sources. Our journey took a twist when love found its way into my life during the aftermath of a broken relationship. The heartache of lost love had left wounds, yet in the midst of that pain, a new chapter was written. This unconventional beginning is a testament to the resilience of the human heart – it is capable of healing and flourishing even amidst adversity.
Shattered Stigma Society has a way of imposing standards and expectations on matters of the heart. Second chances are often met with skepticism, viewed as a sign of weakness or desperation. The stigma attached to rekindling a romance or finding love after heartbreak is palpable, yet it’s essential to challenge such preconceptions. The narrative unveils the underlying biases that underscore this stigma, encouraging readers to question why a renewed chance at love should be dismissed. The Metaphor of “Second-Hand Shoes” An evocative metaphor emerges as the narrative navigates the terrain of second chances. Just as society warns against second-hand shoes due to wear and tear, there’s an inclination to apply the same principle to relationships. But isn’t love more complex than a worn-out sole? Relationships are intricate, and the scars of past experiences can add depth and character to new connections. The chapter invites readers to reconsider the metaphor, acknowledging that while shoes may wear out, love has the capacity to mend and renew. Embracing Vulnerabilities. The essence of this chapter lies in the empowerment that arises from embracing one’s vulnerabilities. Opening up to love after heartbreak requires a profound courage – a willingness to expose one’s scars and let someone else into the sacred space of the heart. The narrative celebrates this courage, emphasizing that vulnerability is not synonymous with weakness, but rather a testament to strength. It takes strength to offer a second chance, to forgive, and to hope for something better.
The Beauty of Unexpected Love. Love’s second chances are laden with beauty and promise. This chapter illustrates the allure of finding love in unexpected places, where the heart defies logic and societal norms. It’s in the uncharted territories of second chances that authenticity often flourishes. The narrative unfolds a tale of love that blossomed from the ashes of a past relationship, demonstrating that the heart has an uncanny ability to discern authenticity amidst the chaos. A Celebration of Resilience. In a world that often champions the idea of instant gratification and fleeting connections, the narrative champions resilience and commitment. Second chances are not just about restarting relationships, but about reaffirming the capacity of the human heart to heal, to grow, and to love again. It’s a celebration of the courage to give love another chance, despite the odds. In the tapestry of love’s journey, the chapter “Love’s Second Chances” stands as a vivid thread that weaves together the complexities, uncertainties, and triumphs of the heart. It invites readers to embrace the unexpected, to challenge societal norms, and to see the profound beauty in allowing love to take root once more. This chapter serves as an ode to the strength of the heart and the resilience of the human spirit – a reminder that love’s second chances are not merely opportunities for romance, but an affirmation of the transformative power of the human experience.

Excerpts
Addressing racism requires a collective effort and a commitment to change. It involves acknowledging the existence of systemic racism, understanding its historical and ongoing impact, and working towards dismantling discriminatory policies and practices. Education, open conversations, and promoting diversity and inclusion are crucial steps in this process.Racism is a global issue that requires global solutions. While progress has been made in some areas, it’s clear that there is still much work to be done. By striving for equality and justice, advocating for the rights of marginalized communities, and fostering a society that values diversity, we can move closer to Dr. King’s dream and create a more inclusive and harmonious world, like John Lennon said, “Imagine”. We will expand on this thought later, but for now we will continue with our Introduction. My name is Anthony Dixon,
