I awoke this morning and came out to find Darwin tearing up my copy of “Meditations from the Mat“. I wasn’t angry or upset; it’s what puppies do and I had left him alone a bit too long out of his crate. I just gently told him, “Darwin, this is a “no”,” and put him outside while I picked up the pieces. As I picked them up, one quote jumped out at me from one of the ripped up pages:
We show up, burn brightly in the moment,
live passionately, and when the moment is over,
when our work is done, we step back and let go.Victory to our spirits, Peace to All Beings
And I felt at peace, not even angry at all.
Huh. Something here is working…

And you had probably handled it enough that it smelled special!
though in a different psychic space from you, felt mellowed out by reading that quote. thanks. -naomi
Hey, that’s pretty cool! I’m glad you’ve found yourself a messenger puppy. 🙂
Or maybe I figured I will get my revenge next week, when he goes to the vet to get “tutored”…..
