I can’t say donkeys are beautiful, not in any classic sense, but I find their eyes haunting, wise, and they are profoundly spiritual creatures. Today I went up in the pasture with a lawn chair and sat down and both of them came and leaned into me, which is what they do when they want attention. I pulled out some carrots and we all had a sweet chew together.
