The Universe Is Smiling: "Spirit Animals"

Welcome to the Chinese New Year of the Wood Horse. In the spirit of the changing years and the changing animals, may I ask, what is your spirit animal, your power animal? Here are some power animals to get you into the right spirit with some quotes about "power" and "spirit" :)

"I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be."

"Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens."
- Epictetus
"Humans are amphibians - half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time."
- C.S. Lewis

to bear a little song,
read a good poem,
see a fine picture,

speak a few reasonable words."
