G.K. Chesterton
I love this quote, because it sums up how animals relate all the time. It teaches us how to better relate to them and others IF we will listen. True, they don't speak the same language or even speak at all. Yet, they are paragons of wisdom, temples of truth.
Suzy and I broke bread together, walked in the woods, enjoyed a roaring fire & never spoke in shoulds. We were free to be, she and me. For 14 wonderful years. Day in and day out, we never had a cross word between us. Never fought. Never looked at each other cross-eyed or mad. For, we shared the most precious gift of all.
I need not say or spell it out here and now. For the magic of this emotion is the richest one of all. We knew it. We felt it. We shared it. We smelled it. We had it. We appreciated it. We lived it. We were better for and from it. She to me. Me to her. It was within this halo that we grew.
