Bear Claws

The marks for readiness are threefold and may be described using a variety of forms to explain this somewhat basic concept. An overly eager attitude towards the goal is a surefire way to develop a sense of failure. However, the development of an almost disinterested attitude works best.

I was talking with a neighbor about a bear who had ransacked her trash the previous night. At first, she thought it may have been a dog until claw marks and bear scat became obvious and then she saw the bear on her walkway, "You know, I think we ought to call the Game Warden on this one. This bear is too friendly!"

I hadn't given much thought to the bear since this was the bear's home. However, looking at the bear scat and claw marks in my front yard convinced me that my neighborhood's safety was at risk. This bear was brazen!

Perhaps a little lesson in forgiveness was needed here. After all, the bear was given public access to a good meal. All the Game Warden typically does is relocate the bear to a safer spot for foraging.
