I love Volunteering

Volunteers are spectral.  Whether it be in animal safe havens or sanctuaries, in parks or along trails, the passerby really never sees the volunteers at work.  They just see the results.  But what's great about volunteering, is that their apex to the pyramid effect is far-reaching and deeply embedded in the task.  For people in the parks wherein I have worked, they can walk along without thorns and with clear views to vistas grand.  For people in zoos and sanctuaries, the layman notices no hunger or soiled areas, but clean and fed critters.  In safe havens, the wanderer sees peace and solace written on the face of the critter.  Volunteers are like ghosts, then, because they wander in and out of the places we all go and hardly one of us notices them, but we all reap the rewards and see the effects.  I love volunteering and I'd have it no other way--other than getting the word out to get more of them to join me, and join the care for these organizations.  My heart fills and I see purpose to my life when I volunteer, because this life isn't just about me.  It's about my community and every corner of it.
