Additional find of goodness---PUPPIES! We are raising a young (now 11 weeks) German Shepherd and trying to do it in a way that she turns into as awesome a dog as our other dog Lexy. This requires us to act as dogs...the leaders of the pack. Fred does this very naturally in his goofiness...Me, I am firmly entrenched in the human, which feels as if it is to my detriment. I am grateful for the opportunity to, at least attempt to experience the world temporarily, through animal beings. and it reminds me of this... Nearer to the earths heart, Deeper within its silence: Animals know this world In a way we never will. We who are ever Distanced and distracted By the parade of bright Windows thought opens: Their seamless presence Is not fractured thus. Stranded between time Gone and time emerging, We manage seldom To be where we are: Whereas they are always Looking out from The here and now. May we learn to return And rest in the beauty Of animal being, Learn to lean low, Leave our locked minds, And with freed senses Feel the earth Breathing with us. May we enter Into lightness of spirit, And slip frequently into The feel of the wild. Let the clear silence Of our animal being Cleanse our hearts Of corrosive words. May we learn to walk Upon the earth With all their confidence And clear-eyed stillness So that our minds Might be baptized In the name of the wind And light and the rain. John O Donohue
