9-22-13 RMB Blissful,
Brief Conversations
Dear Rita Mae
Brown,
It’s Sunday
morning. I woke early to take the sister to a 7:30 am meeting. While I waited
for her meeting to end, I went for a walk at the Lake Murray Regional Park. This
is where lizards, squirrels, rabbits and one snake have visited me, along with
multiple birds and dogs alongside their owners.
Sometimes I
say hi mentally to the passing dogs that send me a hello first. The owners will
sometimes let their pet stop to visit, but more often they pull the tyke along.
I find it interesting that if you have a conversation with an animal and watch
for their reply, you can see it in their eyes or their motions.
Often I’ll
say, mentally of course, “You’d better get going, your owner wants you to move
along.” Inevitably the dog will turn to the owner and give a nod or poke in
that direction even if I have made no movement at all with my words. These are
blissful, brief conversations. I am sure you have had several of this nature
with a variety of animal life. I encourage anyone to try it with any animal
they get chance to spend a moment with.
As the
morning breaks through the marine layer, the sun brings warmth and it is time
to bid the park farewell for the day.
Cheers,
Loraine, in a
Dr. Dolittle mood
