What if we were like dogs? Excited every time we saw each other strangers and friends and family What if we went around spreading joy to everyone we meet? But we don't. Selfishness a mask Isolation and apathy a shield to the possibility that we'll never have love. We all know to get something you must give it. How have canines mastered this and we humans have not? We who create and build and innovate and destroy and break and hurt we who have so much power who can do whatever we want. But we fear more than we love we take much more than we give. What do dogs know that we don't? ~ For Your Ears:

Silence so thick it lays like a comforter on top of us keeping warm in this cold world. Watching the rain fall and fog roll in. Worms wash up on the driveway the birds are quiet today school is cancelled today Reheating chocolate chip cookies and tea and almonds. Norah Jones serenades the rain doors wide open to get the full affect. I think we let in some fog settling on the carpet around us we lean into it wrap up in it like a comforter. I wonder where we'll be in five, ten, twenty years. I think I'd like to be right here. ~ For Your Ears: |
