Beautiful Visitors

These beautiful beings 💕were in our carport yesterday. I looked into the yard trimmings bin and saw them sleeping. I believe they got stuck in there because they were near the bottom of it with no way to climb out. Since they were safe on a bed of pine straw and in the shade I decided to give them apple slices as a snack and let them out gently at dusk since they are nocturnal. I put the apples in very carefully so they would not be scared. They just looked at me with their soulful eyes and I have no words to convey the love I felt (&feel) for them. It’s part protectiveness-I wish I could protect them from the world- and just pure inexplicable love that makes my heart full. 💞At dusk I gave them some reiki to help them stay calm and super slowly placed the bin on its side. The one I think is the mom had a nervous smile but didn’t freeze which means she wasn’t terrified. I put some extra apple & water out and when we checked about an hour later they had moved out of it. ✨I really hope they stay in our garden - in addition to their gentle energy they also eat ticks and are incredibly beneficial to our ecosystem.
💖 Opossums are lovely and gentle and scare easily. If you encounter one please try to remember that they will always be more afraid of you and they may smile nervously but that doesn’t mean they are aggressive. It’s simply a fear response. They are pure love. 💖And I’ve always thought they are beautiful ✨even their smiles.✨
