High in the rugged peaks of Sardinia and the Italian Alps, there lives a tradition as old as the stones themselves. When lambs are born too fragile to endure the steep and stony paths, shepherds do not leave them behind. Instead, with hands weathered by years of wind and toil, they lift the tiny creatures into woven baskets, nestling them against straw and cloth. 🫏✨

These baskets are then carried upon the backs of patient donkeys, steady-footed guides through the mountains. Step by careful step, the flock continues its journey—strong and weak, old and young—none abandoned, all together. In this quiet act, hardship becomes care, and survival becomes compassion. ❤️

It is a reminder that true strength is not in leaving the weakest behind, but in carrying them gently, ensuring the whole community moves as one. A lesson passed down through generations, whispered in the language of shepherds and sheep: love is the path that keeps us together. 🌄🌿
