English Summary/英文概要： Christina is a special cow. Her strange habit of "meditating," while pressing her forehead against a trash barrel caught Rita’s attention, and soon an unusual communication developed between the two. This account, combining spirituality and hilarity, is certainly the most unusual portrayal of bovine nature you are bound to come across. Author Rita Reynolds is a well-known animal advocate and writer, and is the publisher of LaJoie, a quarterly publication of animal stories. She lives in Virginia.

About the Author/作者介绍： Rita Reynolds founder of the Animals’ Peace Garden, has been writing since she was seven years old and tending to creatures since she was eight. Now early into her sixth decade, Rita shows no signs of slowing down or changing what she has always loved to do, except to expand all that she has discovered, learned, and experienced on a global scale. "Unconditional compassion and respect for all other beings is essential if, as a planet, we are to survive," she believes. And, she is quick to state, it begins with respecting ourselves, those right around us, and moves out from there. Not so long ago the refrigerator’s compressor broke. As it was summer, the repairman was kind enough to come immediately, leaving Rita no time to tidy up the house before his arrival. As he walked through the door, Rita apologized for the disarray, helped in a great part by the current cat and dog residents. The repairman looked around, nodding his head."No need to apologize," he said gently as he stepped over Tobe, one of the most ancient of the dogs; "there is a lot of love here, a lot of love." And that, Rita believes, is what life-and home-should be about.
丽塔·雷诺兹是“动物宁静花园”的创立者，七岁开始写作，八岁开始喜爱动物。虽然年过花甲，丽塔并未在自己喜爱的事业上停下脚步，而是将她的发现和经历进一步推广。她相信，“如果要生存，我们必须像行星一样无条件地对所有生命予以同情和尊重。”她很快陈述了自己的观点：应该从尊重我们自己、尊重身边的人做起，进而延及至所有生命。不久前，冰箱的压缩机发生故障。由于是炎夏，维修人员非常快速地到达现场，丽塔甚至没有时间整理屋子。维修人员进门时，丽塔为屋子里猫猫狗狗造成的混乱道歉。那人周围看了看，点点头。“不用道歉”，他走过其中一只最年老的狗托比时轻声说，“这里充满了爱。充满了爱。”丽塔相信，这就是生命和家庭的意义。
