This imaginative tribute to the richness and complexity of animal life on this Earth is a perfect resource for animal blessing ceremonies and other rituals honoring our nonhuman brothers and sisters. It includes quotations from a wide variety of animal-lovers, including Samuel Butler, Jean Cocteau, Black Elk, John Muir and King David, the Psalmist. Searl, a minister for over 25 years, also compiled the treasuries Bless This Child, We Pledge Our Hearts and Beyond Absence (all available from New Leaf). 176 pp.
