More From Emmylou Harris

I'm feeling really grateful. i'm feeling grateful that i've been able to participate in this game for as long as i have. i'm feeling grateful that i've been able to tell my stories. i don't know that my mom and dad are that grateful, or carey [hart, pink's husband], but it's been good for me. i'm grateful if i've kept one girl from feeling different or ugly or unempowered.

Passion makes the old medicine new: passion lops off the bough of weariness. passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!

Animals are like autistic savants. in fact, i'd go so far as to say that animals might actually be autistic savants. animals have special talents normal people don't, the same way autistic people have special talents normal people don't; and at least some animals have special forms of genius normal people don't, the same way some autistic savants have special forms of genius. i think most of the time animal genius probably happens for the same reason autistic genius does: a difference in the brain autistic people share with animals.
Animal Thinking Differences
Humans — who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals — have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. a sharp distinction between humans and 'animals' is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them — without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret. it is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeelingly toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer. the behavior of other animals renders such pretensions specious. they are just too much like us.
Pain Regret Compassion
We owe them [animals] a decent life and a decent death, and their lives should be as low-stress as possible. that's my job. i wish animals could have more than just a low-stress life and a quick, painless death. i wish animals could have a good life, too, with something useful to do. people were animals, too, once, and when we turned into human beings we gave something up. being close to animals brings some of it back.

In a civilized and cultivated country wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. the excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wild life, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination.

Being vegan is easy. are there social pressures that encourage you to continue to eat, wear, and use animal products? of course there are. but in a patriarchal, racist, homophobic, and ableist society, there are social pressures to participate and engage in sexism, racism, homophobia, and ableism. at some point, you have to decide who you are and what matters morally to you. and once you decide that you regard victimizing vulnerable nonhumans is not morally acceptable, it is easy to go and stay vegan
