Talk to the Animals

Talk To The Animals
by Chief Dan George

If you talk to the animals,
They will talk to you.
And you will know each other.

If you do not talk to the animals,
you will not know them.

And what you do not know, you will fear.

What one fears
One destroys.

A lot of wisdom in those words.

i like it, and i agree, they understand you i guess.

I agree crochet lady... I'm glad these words touched you.

Laurie -- I do love them.

Lolit -- so glad when you visit. I don't think many people conect that when we build more shopping malls and subdivisions we're mowing down the homes of so many animals and plants... and they have no where to go, nothing to eat. If they wander in our neighborhoods out of desperation, we shoot them... sigh

You are the animal whisperer... they understand you and you understand them.
