Animals have a much better attitude to life and death than we do. They know when their time has come. We are the ones that suffer when they pass, but it's a healing kind of grief that enables us to deal with other griefs that are not so easy to grab hold of.
From Emmylou Harris
As citizens we have to be more thoughtful and more educated and more informed. I turn on the TV and I see these grown people screaming at each other, and I think, well, if we don't get our civility back, we're in trouble.
As anyone who goes into dog-rescue knows, it is not a for-profit business, but the rewards are priceless for me.
There's a certain grace in accepting what your life is and embracing all the good things that have been - but there's still an expectation of good things to come. Not necessarily what you expected.
I like to think about stringing songs together like a string of pearls, or a string of beads, but ultimately it has to be stuff that really works with the band, and gives a spin to the older material.
Pretty much all I say politically is I encourage people to register to vote.
When there are dogs and music, people have a good time.
I'm blessed to be able to work at something that I'm good at, and that I love. It's not something I take for granted.
You really do learn every day with every dog; they are all so unique and different. But if you're patient and you understand where they're coming from, and if you are consistent, they will be fine. They teach you to give your full attention.
You get to a certain point in your life where you get closer to the end of your life than the beginning, and it colors your life, in a way.
