Our puppy Luna got comfortable in the big dog bed. It’s Vader’s favorite place, but he hesitated at first, which is understandable. Puppies are hyper; they ignore boundaries and can be unpredictable. He looked at her for a while, then decided it was worth a try. He lay down beside her. Luna, still wearing her house leash, opened her eyes, but didn’t move. A short while later, they rested together for the first time.
Luna is growing up.
An honest barber in Texas, two paid days a week in Brazil, a 99-year-old flying on the wing of an airplane, and one million meals for hungry people. There is so much light and goodness in this world. I like to focus on it more. My soul needs it.
Always those horses up on the hill, each
To their own pasture, the higher ground
Trued until one cannot see the other—
How great the grass of no one else, the silence
I didn’t expect a Hitler-Mussolini. Almost as odd as a competition of the sleep-deprived. “Hey, I have a cough and the flu. I don’t sleep right now. Can I be one of the contestants?”
