Maybe read: HERE. by Grace Paley. I gave a book she wrote about cats. Pedinska may like Grace Paley?
Wendell Berry-*The Peace of Wild Things.
`
When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake rest in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting for their light.
For a time,
I rest in the grace
of the world,
and I am free.
