Sing and Dance together and be Joyous! Kahlil Gibran

'Sing and dance together 

and be joyous!' 

'But let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone

though they quiver with the same music.'

'Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.'

'And stand together yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow 

not in each other’s shadow.' 

Kahlil Gibran

'Dance lightly on the edges of time 

like the dew on the tip of a leaf.'

you feel a river moving in you--a joy.'

💓What is right is always in our deepest heart of hearts💓

'Only from the heart can you touch the sky.'

Rumi

'In our deepest moments of struggle, frustration, fear, and confusion, we are being called upon to reach in and touch our hearts. Then, we will know what to do, what to say, how to be.'

When you feel a peaceful joy, that's when you are near truth.

Dialogue to Re-establish Broken Relationships

Choose to step in and actively engage others instead of

stepping around and actively avoiding others.

Speak from the Heart to Create Peace with Loved Ones

Reach into your heart to know what to do, what to say, how to be. Choose to step in and actively engage others from your heart by talking to them instead of about them. Ask clarifying questions and listen with the intention to hear and understand. Seek agreements and facts to find common ground to build up your relationship.

A Dog Lover's Response to its 'Just a Dog'

'Just a Dog' Arrow

My brother, Royce, an avid dog lover, sent me 'Just a Dog' by Richard Biby when my dog, Arrow, recently passed.  I'm sharing it with you now, and adding it to my list of heart-felt things to share with those grieving after the loss of a dog.

Just a Dog 

by Richard Biby

From time to time people tell me to lighten up and say ‘It's just a dog’ or ‘that's a lot of money for just a dog’. They don't understand the distance traveled, time spent or costs involved for ‘just a dog’.

‘Just a dog’ Ginger

💓Some of my proudest moments have come about with ‘Just a dog’. 

💙Many hours have passed with my only company being ‘just a dog’
and not once have I felt slighted. 

💚Some of my saddest moments were brought about by ‘just a dog’. 

💛In those days of darkness, the gentle touch of ‘just a dog’ provided comfort
and purpose to overcome the day.

If you, too, think its ‘just a dog’, you will probably understand phrases like ‘just a friend’ or ‘just a sunrise’ or ‘just a promise’.

‘Just a dog’ Rosie

💜‘Just a dog’ brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. 

💓‘Just a dog’ brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.

💙 Because of ‘just a dog’ I will rise early, take long walks, and look longingly to the future.

‘Just a dog’ Ginger

For me and folks like me, it's not ‘just a dog’--It's an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

'Just a dog’ brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

‘Just a dog’ Ginger

I hope that someday people can understand it's not ‘just a dog’--It's the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being ‘just a man’ or ‘just a woman’.

So the next time you hear the phrase "Just a dog", smile because they "just don't understand".

‘Just a Sweet-heart' Arrow

Many thanks to Richard Biby for writing this wonderful piece 'Just a Dog'.

Every Time I Lose a Dog They Take a Piece of My Heart

💔FAREWELL 'HE WHO WILL NOT BE IGNORED'💓

ANON

Morning Memory 

Every morning after finishing his breakfast, Arrow would come into the office where I'd be working on the computer. He'd greet me with a tail wag and a soft paw on my leg to tell me to turn around so I could massage him while he looked deeply into my eyes to memorize my soul.

Dogs never believe we're too busy to relate with them. They are 'the beings who will not be ignored'. They work tirelessly to keep 'the pack' together and balanced.

Thanks to one of my favorite dog lovers, Art Lipski, for reminding me of this great dog quote.
