Awakening to animals

I hear your voice

those silent whispers that nevertheless

are clear, loud and profound

I hear your love

which touches my heart with a soft kiss

whenever I am with you

I hear your soul

guide me as I walk through the maze

of ignorance and greed on planet Earth

I hear you as an equal

for I am nothing without the whole

and you are part of the miracle that is the Universe

I will hear you always

knowing how you hear me

in your mind, in your heart and in your soul

Margrit Coates

Introduction

I look around and pinch myself. I am at the Wetnose Awards ceremony in London, chatting with Brian May, the guitarist in Queen, who is a well-known animal rights campaigner. Later, Brian presents an award to Virginia McKenna, founder of the Born Free Foundation, and after that I have the opportunity to talk with Virginia about our mutual passion for making a difference on behalf of animals. I have finally met someone who has long been an inspiration to me, and to be able to tell her this in person certainly makes this a red-letter day.

Actors Martin Clunes, Lorraine Chase and Peter Egan were at the Awards too, as was the TV vet Marc Abraham, and it was wonderful to hear their animal stories. Ingrid Tarrant was recording interviews, and during a break we reminisced about a horse story that she had shared with me a few years earlier. There were, of course, some canine stars present as well, taking all the attention in their stride. Not having to wake up in the morning and fret about what to wear, it was no doubt less stressful for them to attend the ceremony than it was for many of the humans present. The dogs exuded that calm, laid-back air that only a dog used to attention can muster.

A year earlier, almost to the day, I had been at another event in London. On that occasion, I had found myself sitting in my very own Green Room at the BBC headquarters, waiting to be called into the studio to be interviewed for the TV series Pet Nation. Liza Tarbuck and Huey Morgan were the show hosts in a beautifully designed animal-themed set. During the time that I sat in the Green Room whilst the earlier part of the show was being recorded, I saw different types of animals arrive in the studio. The sight of them, with all their dignity and self-awareness, made me become very emotional. I grabbed a tissue and fanned my face. Raising my arms to the heavens, I sent out a silent thank you to all the animals who have been my teachers, guides and healers. And I sent the thoughts of appreciation to animals everywhere, for their perfect soul beauty.

I still find it amazing how much animals have brought into my life. But the most important part of my work as an animal communicator and healer is not the famous people I meet, nor the wonderful locations that I am sometimes invited to visit. No, its about the animals themselves and all that they can teach us. I want to close the communication gap between humans and animals, and thereby bring awareness to the widest possible audience.
