Everything is in your hands, a parable, which you probably know. Disciples decided to test their teacher. They approached him hiding a butterfly in semi-closed hands and asked him if the creature is dead or alive. They agreed amongst themselves that if the teacher answers: “Dead”, the disciple will open hands and the butterfly will fly away alive, but if the teacher says “Alive” he will slightly squeeze his palms so that the butterfly will be dead… Wise teacher answered: “Everything is in your hands…” So we are always able to change our reality the way we want it. If you want to go green just go for it. If you want to make it Space of Love – just do it, everything is in your hands. Quote of Anatole France – “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.”

“Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day. It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.”
― John Grogan, Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World’s Worst Dog

“Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”
― Orhan Pamuk, My Name is Red

“Anyone who thinks money can’t buy happiness has never owned a cat [or any pet].” ― Arya Riverdale

“Sometimes losing a pet is more painful than losing a human because in the case of the pet, you were not pretending to love it.”
― Amy Sedaris, Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People

Everything is in your hands

“Our pets are the kids who never leave home, and that’s absolutely fine by us because these kids don’t ask for the keys to the car, don’t turn up drunk at two in the morning, and don’t complain if you turn their bedroom into a home gym. Their presence in times of upheaval and transition acts as a touchstone, a reminder of normalcy, of comfort, and the certainty of a love that can get you through.”
― Nick Trout, Ever By My Side: A Memoir in Eight [Acts] Pets
