I wish more people understood animals of all types love life, find enjoyment in play, adventure, have feelings of love, protect their off spring lovingly and fiercely.

The image of the child musician crying was classified as one of the most emotional photographs of modern history.

This photo was taken of a 12-year-old Brazilian boy (Diego Frazzo Turkato), playing the violin at the funeral of his teacher who rescued him from the environment of poverty and crime in which he lived.

In this image, humanity speaks with the strongest voice in the world:
"Cultivate love and kindness in a child to sow the seeds of compassion. And only then you will build a great civilization, a great nation ".

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8-year-olds, 'What does love mean' The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined!

And the final one The winner was a four-year-old child whose next-door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.'
Now, take 60 seconds and post this for others to see. And then be a child again today!

Yes, please.

With all my senses alive I lifted my glass of juice inhaling its fresh fragrance on this early summers day. The sun momentarily broke through soft clouds, the crystal glass glistening cast a fleeting full prismatic rainbow. My eyes froze over the glass and fell on a commanding large grey horse in full lead breaking through mist sending fog into curling waves, surpassing the other horses, as if escorting them the way. From my view it was as if he was bringing them all full speed right to my table. Quick reaction caused me to inch my chair a good foot or more away, spilling juice onto my white pants. The horses took the turn at rail together in full sweeping gallop, a spray of wet sand splashed sending sand, dirt, and furling fog onto fresh white linen covered tables ..."
