The world has different owners at sunrise... even your own garden does not belong to you. rabbits and blackbirds have the lawns; a tortoise-shell cat who never appears in daytime patrols the brick walls, and a golden-tailed pheasant glints his way through the iris spears.

The World Has Different Owners At Sunrise...

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The world has different owners at sunrise... even your own garden does not belong to you. rabbits and blackbirds have the lawns; a tortoise-shell cat who never appears in daytime patrols the brick walls, and a golden-tailed pheasant glints his way through the iris spears.

More From Anne Morrow Lindbergh

So zeno is most famous for his tortoise paradox. let us imagine that you are in a race with a tortoise. the tortoise has a ten-yard head start. in the time it takes you to run that ten yards, the tortoise has moved one yard. and then in the time it takes you to make up that distance, the tortoise goes a bit farther, and so on forever. you are faster than the tortoise but you can never catch him; you can only decrease his lead.
Running Distance Race
Oh cat, i'd say, or pray: be-ootiful cat! delicious cat! exquisite cat! satiny cat! cat like a soft owl, cat with paws like moths, jewelled cat, miraculous cat! cat, cat, cat, cat.

In new england they once thought blackbirds useless, and mischievous to the corn. they made efforts to destroy them. the consequence was, the blackbirds were diminished; but a kind of worm, which devoured their grass, and which the blackbirds used to feed on, increased prodigiously; then, finding their loss in grass much greater than their saving in corn, they wished again for their blackbirds.
Loss Effort Useless
You say to a brick, 'what do you want, brick?' and brick says to you, 'i like an arch.' and you say to brick, 'look, i want one, too, but arches are expensive and i can use a concrete lintel.' and then you say: 'what do you think of that, brick?' brick says: 'i like an arch.'

But as the work proceeded i was continually reminded of the fable about the elephant and the tortoise. having constructed an elephant upon which the mathematical world could rest, i found the elephant tottering, and proceeded to construct a tortoise to keep the elephant from falling. but the tortoise was not more secure than the elephant, and after some twenty years of very arduous toil, i came to the conclusion that there was nothing more that i could do in the way of making mathematical knowledge indubitable.

You have no control over your cat! you can't say to your cat, "cat, heel! stay! wait! lie down! roll over!" 'cause the cat's just gonna be sitting there going, "interesting words ... have you finished?" while you're shouting all this to your cat, your dog's next to you, going ... [mimes obeying all commands] "what the hell are you doing? i'm talking to the cat!" "oh, i'm sorry!"

The trouble is that nonviolence is so often defined as refusal to fight, and that is the american definition of cowardice. in fact, marching unarmed against the guns and dogs of the police requires more courage than does aggression. the perverted idea of manhood coming from the barrel of a gun is what keeps people from understanding nonviolence.
