We went over to the New Bedlam Farm yesterday and brought Red, who seems able to go anywhere as if he had been there before. It was one of those very touching moments between animals that stir the soul a bit. Red just sat down, almost as if he knew Rocky was blind – movement makes Rocky nervous – and then sat still while Rocky came over and put his nose to Red and smelled him for what seemed a long time. The two acted as if they knew one another, and they stood together for 10 minutes while Maria  brushed Rocky. Two spirit creatures, I think, speaking a language that is beyond me, communicating beyond words in a timeless way.

This reminded me again to listen to animals, and try and hear them. They are so far beyond us sometimes.
