There are cathedrals everywhere,
for those with the eyes to see;*
between appearance and purpose
is the practice of how to be;
Beauty is not made of magic,
it’s a functional affair,
for those with eyes to see
there are cathedrals everywhere.
*quoted from David Elikwu
1994ever 
Religions in general have to rediscover their roots. In Hinduism and the Koran, animals are described as equals. If you walk into a cathedral and look at the decorations of early Christianity, there are vines, animals, creatures and birds thriving all over the stonework.
