Animals teach me something on any morning like this. They are calm, at peace, amazing creations. Sheep especially bring me calm and meaning, and today’s photos are devoted to them. They live with one another the way humans were meant to love one another. Animals are always hunting and killing one another, but unlike humans, it is for food, not for joy or domination.

There is something sacred about sheep grazing. They have cared for us for thousands of years; it’s time for us to care for them and the other animals of the world.
