“A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.”

This is not necessarily singing the praises of cats, but it does have a cat in it, and it feels so appropriate for our times.
It's by Leunig, a beautifully whimsical Australian artist and writer.

One of my favourites by Wendell Berry.

“To Know the Dark"

To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.”
