All is a riddle to the man who trails a shadow. For that man walks in borrowed light, therefore he stumbles on his shadow. ~ Mikhail Nouayme

Dear Reader,

As mentioned in last weeks blog, I am away from my desk but back in a week. Todays reading is also from my book, Each Wind That Blows, in which I tell the tale of the Kenyan riding safari that made me rethink everything.

This reading is from Chapter 31, Living Statues. Most of my chapters are pretty short, but this happens to be one of the longer ones, so I edited it for a shorter read. I chose this chapter because I get to talk about one of my other favorite animals, the leopard, and about a subject that applies to leopards, horses and just about everything else anytime humans are involved, a subject that has often occupied my mind.

As always, I hope you enjoy.
