ANIMAL SPIRIT GUIDES Manataka American Indian Council I think I could turn and live with animals, they're so placid and self-contained, I stand and look at them long and long. They do not sweat and whine about their condition, They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things, Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago, Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.

Whether you see a leaf as deeply toothed, or divided into lobes, is also a matter of opinion, and leaves vary even on the same plant, so how I've classified the leaves is more or less a matter of luck.
