Christian science

The image searched for its real home, its right place, and came to rest in a clump of bushes near the intersection of Liggett and Presidio.

It clung to its old life, shivering, like it had been given up for dead.

True, it was only a beer can, thrown out of the window of a passing car by a careless human, but it too could have feelings.

The landing was soft, so there was a chance, however remote, of enjoying new life in an invigoratingly strange environment.

That there are no accidents in divine mind is some consolation.
