Quotes by Roger Welsch (?)

“There is nothing we can do or not do that successfully conceals our intentions from the dogs, it seems. ... I'd like to think they can read our minds but then it would really be scary because I'm not sure souls as tender, wise, and honest should be subjected to human perfidy.”
― Roger Welsch, A Life With Dogs

“Unable to live a life with joy and freedom in it, some people try to snuff out whatever other expressions of joy and freedom they see around them. If you can't have a soul yourself, some people seem to think, then destroy those who do have souls.”

“Here is the answer, I wrote my friend, and enclosed the fine feather I had just found at the river. Just as surely as spring lies under the iron-hard winter ground of the Plains, just as surely as water runs beneath the ice, such gifts are never gone, even when they are given away. The way we keep such gifts of love, it turns out, is to give them away.”
― Roger Welsch, It's Not the End of the World, But You Can See It From Here.
