Question: Dear Kryon: I live in Spain. I am sorry if I will ask you a question you might have already answered, but the translations of your books are very slow and I might not have gathered all information you have already given. I am quite concerned about abandoned animals. It seems that many people buy animals for their children and as soon as they grow, they set them out somewhere. Recently I had the occasion to see a small kitten in the middle of the street. I did not immediately react, since I could have stopped and taken it, without getting out of the car. So, I went on and at the first occasion I could turn, I went back to see if I could take the kitten, but it was to late, somebody had already killed it. This happened some month ago, but I still feel very sorry for that kitten. I just would like to know, what kind of entity are these animals and how does this fit in our world. Are these entities which choose this kind of life, like we do choose our kind of Human life? I see so many abandoned animals and every time I see one, my heart aches... I would like to know more about them.

Answer: Dear one, indeed the answer has been given, but let us give it again so you all understand. Animals are here on earth for three (3) reasons.

(1) The balance of biological life. . . the circle of energy that is needed for you to exist in what you call "nature."

(2) To be harvested. Yes, it's true. Many exist for your sustenance, and this is appropriate. It is a harmony between Human and animal, and always has. Remember the buffalo that willingly came into the indigenous tribes to be sacrificed when called? These are stories that you should examine again. The inappropriateness of today's culture is how these precious creatures are treated. Did you know that if there was an honoring ceremony at their death, they would nourish you better? Did you know that there is ceremony that could benefit all of humanity in this way. Perhaps it's time you saw it.

(3) To be loved and to love. For many cultures, animals serve as surrogate children, loved and taken care of. It gives Humans a chance to show compassion when they need it, and to have unconditional love when they need it. This is extremely important to many, and provides balance and centering for many.

Do animals know all this? At a basic level, they do. Not in the way you "know," but in a cellular awareness they understand that they are here in service to planet earth. If you honor them in all three instances, then balance will be the result. Your feelings about their treatment is important. Temper your reactions with the spiritual logic of their appropriateness and their service to humanity. Honor them in all three cases.

Hualien farmer shares fruit with passing cyclists

An old farmer in eastern Taiwan has made headlines for offering free fruit to passing cyclists, reports our Chinese-language sister paper China Times.

The fruit orchard belonging to 62-year-old Hualien resident Wang Chin-tsai was severely damaged three years ago during a typhoon, rendering the fruits unmarketable to customers because of their unappealing appearance. Rather than let the fruit go to waste, Wang built a shack on the side of the local bicycle track as a rest stop for cyclists who would like to take a break and enjoy some fruit. Wang does not charge for the fruit but accepts donations from those who appreciate the gesture.

Wang spent more than a month building the shack on the side of the 193 county highway with wood from a tree near his orchard in Fenglin. He admits it was not an easy task because he had no assistance.

None of the fruit at the shack used pesticides. Banana is provided all year round, while orange is available in spring and grapefruit in autumn. Besides fruit, Wang also spends NT$1,000 (US$33.70) a month on mineral water, also provided to the riders free of charge.

"I only want to share. It has now become a habit. So I come back every week to see if everything is okay," Wang said.

"All the fruits and mineral water are for free [to have there], but it costs NT$10 (US$0.37) for take away. There is an old cash drawer in the shack and visitors are free to pay and take their change. Although these fruits do not look appealing from their appearance, they are still good on the inside. Even birds fly in here to taste them," Wang said.

The cash drawer is usually filled with coins of all denominations as well as banknotes.

People who have tasted Wang's fruit sometimes leave him a kind message on the walls, one of the most touching is "You taught me what sharing actually is."
