Little Miss Tripod ♥️
This Video of Little Miss Tripod is so poignant and so heart-wrenching
And such a picture of who this beautiful Girl always is in her heart and soul
There's her focus and the trying in her eyes and expression
How she tried to see if she could find a way to climb this tree
It’s so heart-slicing to think of how many trees she’s wanted to climb and once did
And how many more times this same roadblock experience
will challenge her self-assurance
But how she has figured out how some trees are climb-able for her.
And the look in her eyes and the determination
And her determining that there just wasn’t a way for her to climb this one
As she tried so relentlessly to figure out if she could
And the way she tried to find an anchor for her right leg
missing her needed foot for doing this climb
You felt her heart racing and you felt your own racing
How much she wanted to climb up this particular tree
And then when she knew she couldn’t
This Video tells such a story of what this trap did to her life
And what traps do to lives
And how it affects how she has to adjust
Every day is filled with obstacles
How it affects how she can maneuver or do something so basic and vital for her life..
Climb a tree sometimes and other times she is barred from it
And this Video shows what was left from a human’s sadistic deliberate act
That is so deliberately a random act too
The whoever of who will be caught and whose life will be changed forever or snuffed out
And how a life is violated and affected by maiming
It opens up your heart to witnessing how life is
In the after of...
When a limb is caught
After it is chewed off or finally rots off,
After it is healed in however it heals and what is left.
How the physical wounding of being maimed is left
How severely this is emotional life-time maiming also
And how vulnerable she and all animals are who have this imposed
How even if the physical healing seems to have taken place
the toll it takes
the vulnerability
If she was running for her life
She’s learned how to run in her way
But what if this tree was the tree she came to
And was the sanctuary tree that could have felt like it could have brought her safety
The right tree is not always there
It just witnesses the terror and the fear and the daily losses and challenges she could and does and will continue to face
And you feel the sweetness that is always her
The way no matter what
She wants to be in her life and she figures things out
You just feel the evilness of how her life was fatefully altered
And how this change of adapting never leaves her every-day life
This video just rips through your heart and it opens the heart
To have to See and Feel

This Beautiful Bear: Little Miss Tripod ❤️
Now 10 years old, her right rear foot cut was cut off by a trap when she was just a young cub. Jon Phillips was over-joyed to find her again this Spring with three beautiful cubs.
