(Memorial for Griffin Monette, March 2009 -- Griffin is the black and white dog in my photo album)
Animals, like us, are living souls. They are not things. They are not objects. Neither are they human. Yet they mourn. They love. They dance. They suffer. They know the peaks and chasms of being. . . With us, they share in the gifts of consciousness and life. In a wonderful and inexpressible way, therefore, God is present in all creatures.

The Souls of Animals
When it comes to feelings like hunger
or thirst, pain, joy -- a rat is a pig
is a dog is a boy.
Ingrid Newkirk
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says, 'I will try again
tomorrow'.
Do you not think that on a day like this, miracles might happen? When the whole earth is vibrant with life, does it not seem to you that heaven might for once relent and give us back our dead?
Kate Chopin, The Locket (my favorite short story -- just breathtaking)
Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.
As memory, his music tells of what he has experienced. As desire, his music tells of what he wants to enfold in his arms. Maynard Soloman, in Mozart : A Life".
