As soon as the pretty woman greeted me at her front
door, I knew love was in the air. As the dog barked and the cockatoo
quipped, who would have thought this modern day beauty would be
harboring two Vietnamese pot bellied pigs in her back yard; one Duncan,
I believe, resembling the Tazmanian Devil?
As we drew nigh to the love nest; their immaculate pen,
Duncan and Rosie looked like they were wiggling in lovable excitement as
Angie approached them. Were they genuinely fond of Angie because they
recognized she was kind enough to give them room and board? Were they
happy to see a new face coming out to meet them? Or perhaps these two
angels with hooves were deeply in love with this woman who rescued them
from the dinner plate.
After some swift observation, I think these fat
specimens of virtue absolutely love their lives with Angie. I think
every moment of every day they exult the sun and the winds, and when
Angie is not right there with them, gaze at the house on the forgiving
hill, in gratitude. I think their conversations are about her, and are
of loyalty and highest esteem, that she could look down upon the lowly
and actually care. Who is this goddess of two pigs?
Dear Angela, Sweet Saint Angela. Thank you for not
looking at us as mere food. Thank you for recognizing our similarities,
instead of our differences. Thank you for piercing the veil of ignorance
and depravation, placing us on the highest pedestal of life; a footing
equal to your own. You don't know what this means to us and the swine
nations. They may still try to eat us, but we know you love us, and that
is all that matters. As we squirm and tremble to get away, we will
remember the Saint who lived in the house at the top of the forgiving
hill.
