three squirrels and a pinecone

I am with someone who likes to see the squirrels.
I throw a pinecone on the grass and three young squirrels appear.
They do not stay with the pinecone, because the moment they touch it, it moves away from them and so the squirrels jump away again.
I like to do the "someone" who is with me a favour so he/she/it can observe the squirrels quietly.
I hold the pinecone in my hand and one squirrel returns and uses the opportunity to break pieces out of the pinecone with its mouth, so it can get to the seeds inside.

Anna - I believe there is a great secret hidden in such acts as holding your hand out and offering something.

Try the action and feel what you are doing.

Tears of gratefulness.

The great secret to me - certainly not to you, for you have been and are an example of loving-kindness to me - is the power of offering something in loving-kindness.
