“There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no-one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket—safe, dark, motionless, airless—it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable...."

"To be loved by a horse, or by any animal, should fill us with awe- for we have not deserved it."I work at Haggen, and am going to be looking for a second job this summer. I have four cats and two dogs. I will be in college forever. I love flowers and I love cake. I love Ben. I have been trying to lose ten pounds for three months, and it's not working. I drive a Chevrolet Trailblazer. I'm scared of the dark. I'm terrified of craneflies. I work through things in my mind when I clean my house. I used to ride a horse named Ruby. I might be a teacher someday.

"Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
Isaiah 40:30-31
