This.
This here touched that certain part of me that makes me revert to Mr. Sensitivity.
First, I need to say that I have no idea who to credit for the picture. It is not a creation of mine.
Next, I teared up initially at the sight of this.
The more I look at it, the more it grabs my heart and squeezes.
I have even reverted to hiding the image so that I may compose myself.

I imagine this (fictional) scenario:
Soft, gentle, unassuming comfort device who is bravely and confidently squaring off against something that looks to be more than his match.
As an equal.
And without the history associated with these objects, we would assume that it is hopeless. That the bear would assuredly lose.
Yet, if we think for a moment that this could be a possibility - that this may be happening each night, then we must consider that the bear was victorious.
That with odds such as these stacked against him, we woke up each day. And he was unscathed.
Perfectly fine. His expression unchanged and definitely no worse.
He has either held his own and he will have to do it again tonight or he defeated it.
Wow
I can only hope to instill such a reaction with my own creations.
