Snail

He cannot fly.
He cannot hop.
He cannot run at all.
But you should see
The way he goes
Slowly up the wall.

He cannot skip
Or race about.
He has one way to go;
And as I watched him
I must say
He’s good at going slow.

Why Own a Cat? (part)

One cat is not trouble, and two are so funny,
The third one is easy, the fourth one’s a honey
The fifth is delightful, the sixth ones a breeze.
You find you can live with a house full, with ease.

These are my favorite wallpapers about horses. I hope that you remember the proverb - Never look a gift horse in the mouth!

In an Eastern philosophy “horses” are symbolic/representative of the 5 senses - the things that keep us tied to the physical/material plane of existence. When you can transcend the limitations of these senses and achieve a higher level of consciousness, you are leaving the “horses” behind..

Horse

Who gallops swiftly down the lane,
Slowing to a trot when I pull the rein?
Who has a pony tail and a mane?
Of course - it’s my horse!

Who loves to jump and leap and bound,
Stomping its hooves upon the ground?
Who likes to play and horse around?
Of course - it’s my horse!

Who nibbles oats and piles of hay?
Who has a stable where to stay?
Who likes to whinny and just say “Neigh”?
Of course - it’s my horse!

“When you sit on a horse, all your troubles and worries are left on the ground.”
