We share the same love for donkeys, the same questions about wars. 🌷🌹

Thank you for this Louise. I'm teaching class to a few photography students this semester where we try to learn how to think like a poet. I'll share this with them on Tuesday.

Louise, thanks for writing through this moment and for the beauty of bringing Zagajewski and donkeys together to help us through. Have you ever watched Robert Bresson's Au Hasard Balthazar?

Louise, beautiful weaving together of consciousness, your closeness and empathy to donkeys, nature and world conflicts. A lesson for seeing the whole picture, the whole messy, chaotic, cruel, unloving and beautiful world.
