 An Irish Prayer   (funny)
May those who love us, love us;
and those who don't love us,

may he turn their ankles
so we'll know them by their limping.

 I was on line trying to find out at what age to feed a chick scratch, and I ran across this quote I thought was amazing.

for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man.
All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth."
