I have found that if I just relax into what is, in each moment - the rest falls away. Not easy to do but take it moment by moment.Cats of Wildcat Woodshttp://wildcatwoodscats.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216823884545580516.post-1700172189168586462011-03-31T21:50:31.550-07:002011-03-31T21:50:31.550-07:00Thanks for sharing from your heart.

I often think our animals are here to teach us and guide us. They live in the present, not the past or future. In this moment, "All is well." Let's take refuge in the moment.Frank's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018103565291830598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216823884545580516.post-39354989337547741422011-03-31T18:37:00.930-07:002011-03-31T18:37:00.930-07:00very poignant jc...i wish i could reach out to giv...very poignant jc...i wish i could reach out to give you a big hug. i fear so many things as well. my thoughts tend to scatter towards the negative but then i catch myself and try to live in the moment which is a good moment and all of the humans and animals are doing fine...sigh...i hope you will know that your blog friends and i care for you and do hope you find peace and a pain free existance.Kritter Keeper at Farm Tailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289022593889972949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216823884545580516.post-5969343596990508452011-03-31T16:52:43.371-07:002011-03-31T16:52:43.371-07:00LOVE all the animals on the sidebar...

Then as an adult I took my children and was a thirty year+ goer. Things got mixed up and I dropped out of church. Something was missing. Then a very wonderful friend gave me a small booklet called "Our Daily Bread." At first I thought that it was to "chrurchy" for me, but I read a page each morning. After growing up with Bible stories and sermons, I read on. Each day something in those words affects me and guides me a little more than not. There was an especially strong note in one of the writings that said that we should listen more, not talk so much. I am listening to you and hoping that your family, pets included can share many, many more peaceful days, months, and years. Love goes out to you from all places.

I'm not sure most people live in dread every day, though, as I do. I think my own fears are augmented by Annie's passing, a natural-enough occurrence during the process of grief.<br /><br />But I truly don't know if I'll ever have fur companions in my life again after the boys pass (I hope not soon, but we all know life is uncertain). In fact, I can see my entire journey, a pushing away of all (human or non) connections out of an unhealthy fear of loss and pain.<br /><br />Do you know Wendell Berry's poem, "The Peace of Wild Things?" I read it often. "I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief."<br /><br />I wish that for you today. :-)Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.com
