CREATURES

Snippet

“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”

― Walt Whitman

Scripture

But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
    or ask the birds of the air, and they will tell you.
 Speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
    or let the fish of the sea tell you.
every one of these knows
    that the hand of the Lord has done this.
The life of every creature
    and the breath of all people are in God’s hand. Job 12:7-10
