you live
with shining eyes
completely centered
in this moment
your belly in touch
with earth
and i see so often
the concern you have
for humans
watching us and wondering why
we get so lost
in places where life has abated
we are all too often
held prisoner in our mind
struggling daily to leave behind
old pain
how long will it take
to grieve this past
sometimes the shock of it all
just hits me like a wave
and when it does
there you are
always and forever
faithful by my side
teaching me to ride the tide
while beckoning me at
its each and every turn
back into a deeper connection
with the present moment
and with life

This is beautiful. Our animals are a unique and healing connection ❤️.
They truly are I’d be lost without my lovely Jasper.
That, is one important thing, our animals are here, to teach us: unconditional love, to live on a moment-to-moment basis, to just feel, happy and intrigued, by everything we encounter, in our, lives…
