From an email by a dearly loved one...

This is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan tore open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stucked there because a nail from the exterior hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, felt pity and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.

What then happened?

The lizard survived in such a position for 10 years! In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it seemed impossible and mind-boggling. Then he wondered, how this lizard could survive for 10 years without moving a single step - since its foot was nailed!

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it had been doing and what it had been eating. Later, out from nowhere appeared another lizard, with food in its mouth...

AHHH! He was stunned and touched deeply. For the lizard that was nailed in, another lizard had been feeding it for the past 10 years...*sob* Such a love, such a beautiful love!! Such love happened even between these tiny creatures... What can love do? It can do wonders!! Love can work miracles!! Imagine it has been doing it for a tiresome 10 yrs, without giving up hope on its partner.

Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature blessed with the brilliant mind can't.
