The pace of modern life today is hectic. We do not seem to be able to find the time to think about what we really want out of life and how to live the rest of our years. We owe it to ourselves to pause and exhale, and give life a fresh look. Animals generously give us this present. They are right there next to us like open books in which to read all about life. They are living expressions of emotions in their pure and unadulterated form. They are embodiments of nature’s wisdom. If we can see that, then we might be able to see ourselves in a new light. Maybe finally, by knowing animals we may get to know ourselves. $2.99 on Kindle.
