If I were alone in a desert and feeling afraid,
I would want a child to be with me.
For when my fear would disappear
and I would be made strong.
This is what life in itself can do
because it is so noble, so full of pleasure
and so powerful.
But if I could not have a child with me
I would like to have at least a living animal
at my side to comfort me.
Therefore,
Let those who bring about wonderful things
in their big, dark books
take an animal to help them,
The life within the animal
will give them strength in turn.
For equality gives strength,
in all thing and at all times.
Meister Eckhart
