SPRING GRASS, THERE IS A DANCE TO BE DANCED FOR YOU,
COME UP SPRING GRASS, IF ONLY FOR YOUNG FEET.
COME UP SPRING GRASS, YOUNG FEET ASK YOU.
SMELL OF THE YOUNG SPRING GRASS,
YOU'RE A MASCOT RIDING ON THE WIND HORSES
(...) THIS IS YOUR LUCKY YEAR.

MY STAR
ALL I KNOW OF A CERTAIN STAR . . .
WHAT MATTER TO ME IF THEIR STAR IS A WORLD?
MINE HAS OPENED ITS SOUL TO ME; THEREFORE I LOVE IT.

O wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful!

DIVERSITY A DELICATE DANCE A TENUOUS STANCE
Like but oh, how different . . .

LIKE SNOWFLAKES,
NO TWO SALUKIS ARE ALIKE..
" a universe of sky and snow "
- J. G. Whittier: Snowbound -
DIVERSITY
A WORD FITLY SPOKEN
IS LIKE APPLES OF GOLD IN PICTURES OF SILVER
- THE BIBLE -
WONDER IS AN EXCITING MYSTERIOUS REGION
THAT ONCE AGAIN HAS GIVEN US A SURPRISE.
LIKE A BLACK HOLE
IT CANNOT BE OBSERVED DIRECTLY
LIKE TURBULENCE AND HIGH-ENERGY
ITS GRAVITY CREATED INFERS ITS PRESENCE.
Couched in his kennel, like a log
With paws of silver, sleep THE DOG...
- Walter de la Mare -
(...) And in the WEST a PLANET
Swinging below a STAR -
LOOK for a lovely thing and you will find it,
IT is not far -
IT NEVER WILL BE FAR.

DIVERSITY FLOWS FROM INNUMERABLE INFLUENCES AND AN INFINITY OF CHOICES . . .
. . . and WONDERS NEVER CEASE
The WONDERS were not chosen for their grandeur,
but for the vision and purpose that inspired THEM.
Celia King: - The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World -
A Horse is a Horse, of course...
But a Saluki is a GIFT that stands in the shadow of its Creator.
CH KAROB ARTEMIS AT EPHESUS - BRED TO SEE FAME THAT HONORS HER HERITAGE
CH KAROB MAUSOLEUM OF HALICARNASUS - BRED TO TASTE THE DELIGHTS OF "SALUKINESS"
CH STATUE ZEUS OF OLYMPIA - BRED TO FEEL THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SPREADING JOY
CH KAROB COLOSSUS OF RHODES - BRED TO TOUCH THE HEARTS OF HIS PEOPLE
KAROB GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA - BRED TO HEAR THE VOICE OF A FREE SPIRIT

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?
Some things don't get better,
They're touched with genius from the beginning.

INNUMERABLE INFLUENCES AND AN INFINITY OF CHOICES . . .
BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART
THAT SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
Begin to WONDER...
THE CENTIPEDE WAS HAPPY QUITE
UNTIL THE TOAD IN FUN
SAID, 'PRAY WHAT LEG COMES AFTER WHICH?'
AND WORKED HER MIND IN SUCH A PITCH,
SHE LAY DISTRACTED IN THE DITCH CONSIDERING HOW TO RUN.
- Mr. Edmund Crastie - 1874
Gesture and special composition are never devoid
OF DRAMATIC MEANING...

A STAGE IN THE ONGOING DANCE OF ENERGY
True ease. . .comes
from art not chance
As THOSE move easiest
who have learned to DANCE.

"Elegant in shape and graceful in movement, the Saluki is noted for his beautiful proportions which facilitate his typical effortless and efficient gait, barely seeming to touch the ground."

DIVERSITY IS IT A 'SORT OF PLACE'
THAT ONE SHOULD ONLY VISIT IN DREAMS?
DIVERSITY IS IT A JOURNEY FROM A NOMADIC PAST TO A SKETCHY FUTURE?
