Kinship With All Life
Is there a universal language of love, a kinship with all life that can open
new horizons of experience?
Example after example in this unique classic -- from Strongheart the actor-
dog to Freddie the fly -- resounds with entertaining and inspiring proof that
communication with animals is a wonderful, indisputable fact. All that is
required is an attitude of openness, friendliness, humility, and a sense of
humor to part the curtain and form bonds of real friendship.
For anyone who loves animals, for all those who have ever experienced
the special devotion only a pet can bring, Kinship With All Life is an
unqualified delight. Sample these pages and you will never encounter just
a dog again, but rather a fellow member of natures own family.
Personal Review: Kinship with All Life : Simple, Challenging,
Real-Life Experiences Showing How Animals Communicate with
Each Other and with the People Who Understand Them by J.
Allen Boone
I bought this book because I read that it was a favourite of Tom Dorrance,
who is sort of considered to be the "father" or natural horsemanship.
The writing style is very "popular 1950s" and the humor can be a little
hokey at times, but this makes it an easy read. However, the concepts put
forth are anything but lightweight. The title of the book says it all, really,
and at some level this book goes very deep with me. I also like the fact that
the author never strays into cutsey-cuddly territory when talking about
animals.

Since reading this book I have noticed a simple but profound change in the
way I relate to animals. It happens that I have been in a position to come
into contact with more wildlife than usual lately, and they seem to be
picking up on something as they frequently seem rather tame and curious
about me, rather than just running off. Am I having "conversations" with
them? No. Am I trying to communicate my appreciation of their higher
selves. Yes.
I'm not sure that the book has affected my relationships with my pets or
my friends' pets as much. Probably because habits I have already
developed get in the way a little. When I meet an animal for the first time,
though, I really notice a change.
This book is small and inexpensive, and second hand copies abound. If
you have any inclination to improve the quality of your relationships with
animals, and indeed with people, you've little to lose by reading this.
