I am Grateful.
Living on the water, riding on a Ferry this very moment
Watching my older dog run Free along the estuary, grateful that I finally took  her collar off and let her ignore me until she was done.
HER TIME, not mine
Sad , because I can't take her with me on my next step,
Nor me hers...
Yes it makes my heart cry
And yes, it's a smaller picture of the bigger reality
That if I were to say Goodbye to this planet
It would be like saying Goodbye to a Beloved Friend
One who has been welcoming to many parts of me well before I knew they existed
It would be like saying Goodbye to a friend that brought you to the very doorway of your own Being and then some.
So
There's No Saying Goodbye
Just Thank You so much
And I will celebrate this FRIENDSHIP Forever
and Know the thing you taught
JOY.

Love meets Peace
And Joy meets Love
