Good Morning {{{{{E'}}}}},

Todays story:

Rufus

We had a basset hound named Rufus. We called him the
"ding dong boy" but I don't know why. He was a very, very
sweet soul. He never bit man nor beast. When the vet would
cut his toenails too short, making them bleed, he would cry
and lick the vet. Mean dogs befriended Rufus and turned
nice in his presence.
Rufus died yesterday. He was fourteen.
I went for a walk in the park today. The world felt
different. Changed. There was one less sweet soul. There
was a missing piece of the puzzle. It wasn't just "my"
world that was different. It was the whole world. . .
everyone's world. People I passed were unaware of the
change. They looked so. . .centered, so normal. They
didn't know the world was different. I felt so small and
alone in the knowing.
I know that when I tell clients that I wasn't in
yesterday because my dog died that it will sound small;
insignificant. Everyone has a dog die at some point. But
somehow it feels like no one has ever. . .or will ever. . .
feel like I do today.
Someone said once that love feels like that same kind
of . . .exclusivity. Maybe it's the same. Maybe what I'm
feeling is love.
It feels as if I have an aura. And, if that aura is
radiating shades of blue there's a red lightning bolt
running through the light blue part. . .clear to the center
of my being.
Hoping, it is filled with fields of green grass, chew
bones, all the treats you can eat and strong legs without
arthritis to run in the green fields.
