Joy filled my heart that the deer was able to get up and run, but fear and worry over her survival made me tremble
The sky was turning from pink and gold to evening’s hazy dusk and shadows crossed our path in front of the car as it snaked its way along the country road. We neared the top of a hill, and as if appearing by magic, they were everywhere! “Look out! Slow down. You’re going to hit them!” I shouted. “We’re being surrounded on all sides.”
“Is she dying?” I wondered and stood up to edge closer. I didn’t want to frighten her, but I wanted our deer to know that I wouldn’t leave her. We stared at her as if our gaze could breathe new life into this beautiful animal. With slow movements, she began to push herself up into a position that resembled an Egyptian sphinx. She remained in that posture for several minutes, moving her head from side to side. I dug my fingers into my husband’s arm and we watched while she eased her front legs forward. As if she had superpowers, she willed herself to rise and stood before us on all four legs. “She’s up,” I whispered.
