sometimes
if I really really Let Go
I can BE Right Here
inside this moment
like that!!!

29 December


I remember this moment
How tiny
Floppy
And wiggly you were
How BIG the tennis ballie
How determined you were
Nice to see you that way again...
For a moment.

You have always stayed soft
To the touch
&
To the heart
I love that about you
so very much.

One thing I have loved learning from you:
EnJOYing Whatever
Has turned out to BE 
An entirely NEW-to-me way
To live
Simply.

It was a special Christmas, 2008
When Santa & the Rain Dear
Brought you a Lake to EnJOY

And likely wouldn't hazard a guess...
I just KNOW you think them.

there is nothing quite like
YOU
when you KNOW
what's in that pocket
and that
if you hold really still
in your question mark doggie-yoga pose...

You are inspiration
On four legs
And...

By all means, go again and again and again.

Your laugh
with all its snorts and woofs
and crazy dancing often involved
well...
just the thought of it gets me 
right in the giggler

This photo has taught me much
BEcause until we moved
You had little to smell
On the desert
Life by the ocean is different
Full
[overly so]
With snifforunities

I am NOT the best listener
You have given me new ways to listen
And learn
And you are a gentle, persistent teacher
Thank You.

I often wonder
Watching you BE
Are you sorting things out
Taking them in
Or are you just
DOing nothing at all brainiac?!
