    A little something to put things in perspective...

    After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage.

    One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched
    statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat
    sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick.

    When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under
    their dead mother's wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of
    impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the
    tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise.

    She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her
    babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast ...because she had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live.
