Inspiring photos inspire inspiring words. Greg Fallis – one of the many clever folks over at Utata: Tribal Photography – captures the essence of dog-dom:
If dogs believed in prayer, running would be a canine doxology. A hymn sung by the legs and lungs whose meter is determined by the beat of paw against ground. It is an acknowledgment of the gift given by the gods of dogs, a gift they gladly share by the simple act of running. We, watching them, are also uplifted.
If the prayers of dogs were answered, bones would rain from the sky and the land would be abundant with things to be chased and almost caught.
If you haven’t subscribed to the Utata RSS feed, I highly recommend it. Poignant, poetic, and thoughtful photography-inspired prose almost everyday.
