The wire cages were opened enough to allow all of them to gather in a central area, with a calm sense of peaceful meeting of the minds, eyes, hearts and souls.

Considering Gender (M/F/Oother) is important.. two fellows can likely say hi or nod, etc, as can two gals..

The other day I heard a sermon on the foundation of society being reflected in a family...Two loving partners caring for a child (that's the updated politically correct version and there is room for discussion about the historical man, woman and child paradigm another time.) Nowadays it is the lucky person who can dream about having a child (their own biological one, or an adopted or otherwise one to care for from early on or over the course of time perhaps as a family member, friend or other connection.) Time, money, practical skills, support, groups and so on in addition to the wider
