Description
"Longer than memory we have known that each animal has its power and place, each a skill, virtue, wisdom, innocence -- a special access to the structure and flow of the world. Each surpasses ourselves in some way. Together, sacred, they help hold the cosmos together, making it a joy and beauty to behold, but above all a challenge to understand as story, drama, and sacred play."

RIP Annie Banannie....my sweet, sweet girl. You melted my heart from the first day we met...and taught me so many invaluable lessons. I will miss you so much my dear friend.

Many thanks to Mariola for featuring "Souls Great And Small" in Our 4-Legged Friends group. Annie is very proud and pleased!!!

Thank you Joe! I ended up with a dog too....one that loves and is so gentle with Anniie. Did not plan it as it was a dog I was trying to find a home for many years ago so it's current owners would not send her to the pound. Turned out that she was supposed to be with me....and now I cannot imagine life without her. They all have valuable lessons to teach us and on so many levels. I am grateful for the good company, the unconditional love, and all the laughter they have brought to my life.

Very nice cat image. You caught an unusual expression. Vote fv I've lived with cats for 26 years as my wife loves them.. Our sweetest cat was a ringer for this one and our current one 'Neko' looks very similar. Hate to say it, I'm ready for a dog.

Thank you Julie! This is my favorite photo of Annie, even though it's not her "prettiest," because her soul just shines through it!
Julie Niemela
This is a truly stunning cat portrait, and the quote by Paul Shepard is a perfect accompaniment. It is no wonder that this photo has won multiple honors. I love her intense kitty expression and obvious intelligence, the battle worn ears, the B&W toning, and everything about this photo. Bravo!
Dale Ford
Such a beautiful, intelligent face expertly captured. I am enthralled by both the image and the quote. v'd
