Wanted: One Sweet and Gentle Dog to Love

 

The Fairies Going Away Party

Good-bye, gentle dog spirit.

It's time for you to go.

An Earthling is calling 

for your company,

but the fairies 

will miss you so.

We fairies celebrate 

with hoots and hollers

as you get the call to serve.

There's nothing like a doggie's love

to wash away a human's tears.

So you're the dog that has been called

to save another human in distress.

You're looking for a person

who knows that doggy kisses 

are the best.

She'll treat you well

and love you deep

and let you climb in bed to sleep.

So find this human who's heart is longing

for the company of another sweet dog.

Let your meeting be a soft greeting

as you call her to your side.

Be tender and gentle

with the softest of eyes,

and look for the same from her.

Let your tail wag joyfully

showing you can be trusted

to stay calmly by her side.

And now there's really nothing more to say or do.

The fairies will guide you 

to find each other along the way. 

So let your heart stay open 

and expect to find this sweet human 

with which to love and play. 

Your sweet doggy breath 

will swirl through the air. 

Calmly wait for her to catch your drift

and bring you home to stay.

The wait begins.

What the World Needs Now is Love, Sweet Love

 

    

                 

Respond to the World with a Noble Heart

"Compassion is the unfettered yearning that responds to the world with noble heart, the understanding that others are just like us."

Sakyong Mipham

"Radiating from basic goodness like the sun, compassion lifts us above self-involvement and brings us out of the Dark Age."

"Just like the sun behind a cloud, it shines through our self-centeredness."       

Practice Compassion

“Sometimes people feel disappointed when they hear about practicing compassion: 'You mean I have to be nice?' It's kind of a letdown."

“If you want to be miserable, think of yourself.  If you want to be happy, think of others.”

Sakyong Mipham

💙 How will you show your compassion in the world?

'When you choose to act with integrity and compassion, you are strengthened by your experiences;

 

When you choose to act out of ego, fear, anger, retaliation or hate, you are hardened by your life experiences.'

Chicken Feather Fun

Chicken feathers

are so much fun;

Full of life 

and feathery fun.

Fluffed and dusted 

throughout the day,

In full plume

when chickens cluck

and have their say.

Today's a day 

to study chicken feathers,

so forget the news and the weather.

Happy, the Dog, on the Highway to Heaven

 

Happy Trails

Happy Trails, dear Happy.

You'll have blue skies

from now on.

Your spirit's moved on,

but your memory remains.

Our lives were better for knowing you.

The Happy Traveling Companion

As a traveling companion

on the road of life

Happy was grand.

She was just happy to be with us,

so she never minded the plan.

"What are we doing today?," 

her eyes asked me.

"Whatever is fine

because I'm Happy."

GPS: The Highway to Heaven

Happy Happy

Full of Love

Pint-sized bundle of joy.

On the highway to heaven

It's time to rest

and regain your strength

so you can rise again once more.

GPS: go straight past the sun

to heaven above

to play among the clouds.

Then plan a return trip

in a new spacesuit

to spread your special kind 

of happiness around.

For Elizabeth and James Huntsman, the fortunate companions of Happy, 

the pint-sized bundle of joy. May your hearts be full of warm Happy memories.

The Happy Dance

 

  

Dancing Our Cares Away

I wake up in the morning

to see what I can see.

And what do you know?

I see fairies in my head

dancing merrily.

Each and every morning 

they dance the happy dance,

and bless me with their singing songs

putting a smile on my face.

So let us follow the fairies,

and dance our cares away.

Let us learn to sing and dance,

and take an attitude of play 

throughout our day.

Let us greet each morning

with thoughts of gratitude, 

and let us dance the Happy Dance

and be happy through and through.
