It’s just wonderful to hear you’ve been reading my posts for a few years! Thank you for deciding to tell me–it’s such a gift! And a very special one for me that it ends up being this particular post that compels you to leave a comment. That means a lot to me. I’m so happy you are out there reading and “receiving” too! Love back to you!

I always mean to write a comment and thank you. This time I just had to….thank you so much for this meaningful and moving post. I can feel all those feelings myself and I love how you put it all into words. I love your artwork also, I appreciate you and I’m receiving your wisdom. Love to you and your companions!

This is certainly one of the more unusual posts I’ve written so it means a lot to me that you found it credible, and the writing about it beautiful. That just makes my day. xoxo

And what a beautiful piece of writing it inspired.

xoxo

I so agree with you about our animal companions. I love the visual you got of me with the word “woosh”–and the insight that my play with words is so visual. That was very cool to read. And thanks for the way you expressed the paradox of the last paragraph. Such lovely thoughts in response to mine!xoxo

I’m happy you enjoyed the drawing and the post, and that the last paragraph gave you lots to think about. Me too! xoxo

I’m sorry about your accident; but I’m glad you made it through, and with a new perspective. And thank you for sharing it. Often I think our non-human friends are angels who help guide us, and ground us, and watch over us. They keep us from feeling alone. They are the purest of souls. I’m glad you have Cotton and Romeo to keep you safe, and sit by your side. Your description of “woosh” made me imagine you caught in a big gust of wind with your hair twirling around and upwards… Your play with words is wonderfully visual.
Your last paragraph is lovely – homework isn’t something we typically want to do, but home is always comforting. xoxo

It was so interesting to hear about the car accident, and about that ‘whoosh’ feeling that you experienced again. Thank you for sharing your insights with us. That last paragraph gives me a lot to think about.
