Healthy Lifestyle/Home Sweet Home: On DOGS and HAPPINESS and LOVE

 

 
     This morning I took the time to just watch the sky change colors. I was digging the ground to plant some vegetables when the sky became too irresistible not to capture. The kaleidoscope got my heart beating fast so I ran to the house to grab my cam and started snapping photos waiting for the sun to rise. I was surprised to realize my solitude was invaded by our dog "M" who sat in front of me and seemed to be in prayer watching the sun come out from the mountains.

This was the scenery that caught my attention first, the clouds being colored pink then peach. I remembered friends from across the miles who would be thrilled seeing their favorite colors parading.

   
 So there I was with "M" marveling at the show someone Above was playing, reminding us that "each new day is a gift".

   
After awhile I decided to sit behind "M" and silently watched him and wondered what he must have been thinking.

   
     I was amazed at how long he stared at the clouds and sky. He must have been sending messages to heaven. Do dogs pray? I'd like to believe they do and I'd like to see them in heaven too someday if indeed the place does exist. I believe it does.

   
I called out his name and he looked at me. I thought he would move out and walk away but he stayed there with me, watching, just watching quietly without a bark...

   
 and somewhere in the crevices of my brain I envied "M" for all the time he has to spend with mother nature, just relying on man's love and caring for food and shelter and the simplicity of his life...sometimes I think animals are the higher form of beings because unlike human beings they do not waste time with so many material things they do not actually need to survive. Sometimes I wish I could talk to animals, that I could understand and really speak their language, perhaps they could teach me more about happiness and loyalty and caring.

      On caring this is what I am talking about, our other dog "K-1" suddenly joined us and went straight to "M" and they engaged in what seemed like an embrace.

 and kissed and licked each other like there was no tomorrow...

      Watching them gave me a sense of peace. A feeling that somehow as long as there is LOVE and CARING there will be a better world. A world we could pass on to our children and the children of our children.

      A world where people know what truly makes them happy. A world free of prejudice and hate and sorrow...there'd be no need for nuclear weapons and people won't destroy and kill each other for power.
In my heart I pray the world never ends...that we could always enjoy a breath of fresh air, clean abundant water, play under the shade of trees, run on sandy beaches, swim with fishes in the ocean and get to spend precious time with the ones we love and that everyone in all the world recognize LOVE and share LOVE in its purest form....

 like white fluffy clouds against the bluest of skies....
under a sunny summer day with birds and flowers...
and dogs and you and ME....
and the rest of creation.....
giggling, laughing, running 
and climbing the stairs of HEAVEN 
and the peace and quiet it represents....
