"In their innocence and wisdom, in their connection to the earth and its most ancient rhythms, animals show us the way back to home they have never left." ~Susan Chernak McElory

Friendship without envy,
Or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is served with muscle
And strength by gentleness confined
He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.
There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.
~Ronald Duncan, "The Horse," 1954
