ABH – Inspirational Sayings
ABH – Inspirational Sayings – July 2015 – If there is one thing that I know – it’s that all people who love animals have their hearts nicked or broken every day. But then we focus on the task at hand – which is creating awareness to help them – and get back to doing the job that stirs our passions and helps to correct human wrongs!
I’ve added a new category and started a Facebook page – A Beating Heart – Inspiration Sayings – for those days when we need a reminder of all that is wise, profound and still beautiful in the world. I have always loved “profundities” and I hope these give you a lift on a day when you need a touch of magic!
This page was inspired by and is in remembrance of the Nigerian people who have either been kidnapped or lost their lives in these appalling atrocities against them.

“Most humans behave with complete arrogance, ignorance and contempt towards our exquisite planet and our fellow sentient beings. We are too cowardly to face our behaviour and cry – ‘Don’t show me – I don’t want to know’. We justify our actions and our inaction with lame excuses and we boast about kindness, compassion, family values, our civilized ways, our brilliant technology and our quest for a peaceful and inclusive world. In truth we are cruel, selfish, corrupt and uncivilized. Unless we change globally – Mother Nature will do it for us – she will be neither kind nor forgiving. We are all accountable – every one of us – get involved” – Rosemary Wright …

Trees – by Bliss Carman
In the Garden of Eden, planted by God,
There were goodly trees in the springing sod,
Trees of beauty and height and grace,
To stand in splendor before His face.
Apple and hickory, ash and pear,
Oak and beech and the tulip rare,
The trembling aspen, the noble pine,
The sweeping elm by the river line;
Trees for the birds to build and sing,
And the lilac tree for a joy in spring;
Trees to turn at the frosty call
And carpet the ground for their Lord’s footfall;
Trees for fruitage and fire and shade,
Trees for the cunning builder’s trade;
Wood for the bow, the spear, and the flail,
The keel and the mast of the daring sail;
He made them of every grain and girth
For the use of man in the Garden of Earth.
Then lest the soul should not lift her eyes
From the gift to the Giver of Paradise,
On the crown of a hill, for all to see,
God planted a scarlet maple tree.
And then “WE ” do this …

This Killer Needs To Be Exposed …
Walter Palmer (left – dentist in Minnesota) – “alleged” killer of Cecil the magnificent – collared – pride male. Lured out of the park with a carcass “allegedly” and murdered. But this isn’t Walt’s first kill – he is one of those “I wanna be in the record books” boys. Walt likes to kill – it makes him feel like a big, brave man. In truth Walt is devoid of compassion – he just wants to kill innocent animals …
