A new friend, a lovely lady, shared this with me. Thank you, Lady.

I once spoke to my friend an old squirrel, about the sacraments - he got so excited and ran into a hollow in his tree and came back holding some acorns, an owl feather, and a ribbon he had found.
And I just smiled and said, "Yes, dear, you understand: everything imparts His grace."
