Words by Winter Blessing of the Animals, with William Butler Yeats
A listener from Arizona named Russ writes in about his fear that in the unending awfulness of 2020 he's turning toward animals as a defense against humans. That he's always been a "defender of humans" and doesn't want to turn into one of those people who only loves dogs.
