Red And The Sick Old Sheep

by Jon Katz
Red with the sick old sheep

Red just watches the sick old sheep. It is quiet in the barn, and she stares back at him, the two of them in a timeless kind of conversation I can’t know or understand. He has never done this with a sheep before that I have seen, and he doesn’t move or rattle her in any way. I love the mystery of animals, the part we will never comprehend, we will never know. I know this is powerful to see, but I do not know what is really happening. As much as we love them, parts of them are out of our reach.
