Darren Daz Cox, now in Pekin Illinois!
Purple Squirrel!
I was thinking about the purple squirrel who’s been seen inspiring kids in the UK with his purple fur and decided that he was painted by an angel and put on earth to remind us how magical things really are! Oh sure, I know you might be hesitant to believe that a squirrel could be born purple and perfectly healthy, but do it anyway. There’s way too much negativity in this world and we need more purple squirrels scurrying around to make us appreciate how awesome and amazing life really is!

To those who discount the purple squirrel (yes there’s a real life purple squirrel out there) as some unfortunate victim of mans wasteful nature and poo-poo miracles as something that only happens in fairy tales, or worse only happened in the Bible thousands of years ago I say take a look around and try to look for the good things rather than the grim.
Of course it’s a miracle, even if the vehicle of the miracle was indeed some discarded toner or printers ink, the fact that the squirrel survives and inspires is the important thing.
Reality is not fixed, science was wrong, E equals MC squared is not the whole truth (and never was). The Newtonian version of reality as being fixed and logical is just not the case. As much as we apparantly need to cling to something solid and unchanging, the real truth, or the truth closer to the real truth is that reality is malleable, and not just malleable by random forces, it’s being changed by our consciousness. Take a good look at the purple squirrel – as we invented him…

Awww, so pretty. Seasonal, too. I love how the angel wings resemble peacock feathers, with the “eyes” at the tips.

“It’s all in the eye of the beholder”, they say – and the first one to look at a piece of art is OF COURSE the painter him-/herself! Beautiful!

This is surely a nicer and far gentler take on the whole UK phenomenon with the Purple Squirrel, and yes I too would rather think an act of love and kindness, instead of cruelty, resulted in the squirrel’s strange “plumage.” Let’s hope he continues to delight the kids and teachers, that he stays healthy and that he comes to no harm – so angels can watch over him.
