(Of course, they’re also extinct)
unflappable /ʌnˈflæpəbəl/ adjective 1. Hard to upset; imperturbable; calm; composed.
Not the unflappable type? Me neither. But you know what? There’s something better:
“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives, so do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.” (John 14:27) “I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!” (John 16:33)

I know you’re making a spiritual point, but the pictures remind me why I’m sad the Dodo is extinct. It was a peaceful, harmless, interesting, and cool-looking bird. “Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves…”

I thought the same thing. Shame how often we don’t appreciate gentleness when we see it.
