How fragile and strong...

Moving it into the sunny spots in the morning, and deciding where I will place it over night, for soon the nights will become cold.  Not cold by anyone else's standards, but a tiny leaf, on a tendril of stem...seems like it would wither at 50 degrees.

It lives on the windowsill, at present, covered by a clear Pyrex custard cup, and has already survived being knocked down by curious feline paws once.  What a gory disaster I walked in on that night.  Soil strewn all over the kitchen floor, sprouts nowhere to be seen, cats sulking under beds, and behind couches.  Knowing they had made a mistake.  When I found the tiny green things amongst the  wreckage I was disproportionately overjoyed.  Although I do worry still, it seems the guilty ones have learned their lesson,  I don’t know if I can do this.  I know I cannot. 

G-d will have to protect this small thing, else it will not live.
