A fitting and heartfelt tribute. Putting down an animal at the vet's is some kind of epiphany moment in a strange sort of way. Our cat is 16, so I'm wondering when ...
Burying a creature once full of life is a terrible memory. As I lifted the cold, stiffened body of my small dog, Michelangelo's Pieta flashed in my mind. In that moment, I felt the dog's rigid limbs relax, like in the statue, a sense of peace settling over, as if the dog was relieved to have been found that October morning.
Just beautiful. We share this realm with these furry companions for a moment, and when it's time for them to go it's just so hard. Perhaps because we know they're not just "pets" but sentient beings. Sorry for your loss.
“You and I are the ones who have left…” So true and aching friend. Thank you for digging the hole with us, feeling that void in your words, and also the levity of a truth beyond our ego’s imagining. ❤️
Well, a warm welcome back dear Kim! I had missed you a bit....
I wonder if more people sometimes unsub by accident, lately. Maybe the buttons have changed, I don't know....maybe a payment wasn't completed? You are now registered as free....
Beautiful tribute to Lilly. Wise words from your son. R.I.P. is now filled with new meaning. Arnold Mindell (founder of Process Work who died ~ and returned ~ last Monday) would agree.

I was just thinking about you and missing your posts… and then noticed that somehow I wasn’t subscribed? How did that happen? I’m a paid subscriber!

“Life is not in us. It is us who are in life.
A slight difference.” But a metanoia, nonetheless.

To Lilly’s return. Sending gentleness your way.
Welcome home, Lilly. Cuddle you soon xx

What a beautifully wise reminder. What a deeply nourishing post. Thank you for pointing to the emptiness that is always made of fullness.
