Joy arrived at about an hour and a half ago with her new service dog, a lovely rottie, lab, shepherd mix named, “Summer.”
Summer then proceded to deposit a large personal pile of compost enrichment in the middle of the kitchen rug.
My idea of a special greeting? Not really.
She’s going to be a great companion and other than as a momentary anecdote, this gift will have no impact on her relationship with Joy or me.
Why is it we are sometimes so much less forgiving with human beings?

Have you ever noticed when your friends or children are overworked, up too late with homework, sleepy or achy, thirsty,hungry or in need of a truly loving presence or listening ear, you respond with either an offer of a glass of water, some food, a walk or a pillow to ease the physical ache, a kind suggestion to get some sleep, finish stuff up tomorrow or a loving listening ear regarding their situation?
How would it be if you treated yourself with the same wonderful degree of loving-kindness?

Some years ago, I saw an ant; its tiny body scurrying across the hot cement. I wondered to myself, do ants feet get hot? The more I experience in life, the less I realize I really know. We live in such a vast universe. How does the ant feel when it is far up a tree? Perhaps just as we might if we climbed Mount Everest? So many questions. But it’s not just about ants, it’s about life.
What will you explore this week from the space of loving-kindness, listening and curiosity?
