<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This top one speaks to me in a couple of different ways. One about evolution, and perhaps the other about ancestry or the circle of life.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This second one tells me that this person is clearly at a crossroads in his life. His posture may appear that all things seems lost or impossible, but the symbol of the bird with outstretched wings is a sign of hope, as well as the "all-knowing" eye in the sky. The building can mean a place or safety and respite, or even a church. This one really pulled me in as I created it.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Quite sometime ago Portnoy and Biff met at a no-kill animal shelter in the middle of America.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It
seems Portnoy was a renegade that escaped a truck headed for the
slaughterhouse. Afraid to go back to the farm, Portnoy walked for days
until he met a kindly old gentleman who told him all about this shelter.
Unable to properly take care of a pig, the old man gave Portnoy a ride
to the door and waved a tearful goodbye. The volunteers at the shelter
welcomed Portnoy with open arms and hearts. They brought him to his new
quarters but on the way there he noticed by Biff, an old-timer stray dog
with a twist in his tail just like his!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The
shelter worker saw the connection between Portnoy and Biff right away
and asked if they'd like to be roommates. Biff's spirits soared by
having Portnoy around. They shared stories of life before being rescued
and celebrated every day for the strange twist of fate that brought them
together.</span></div>
