Setting sun, craddled in Lewisburg Saddle.
Pink sky, glowing forest.
Luna and I pause our hike,
Wait for the brush strokes to resolve,
Then walk into the painting.

I missed you quietly today. So quietly that no one noticed.

Despite knowing the journey, and where it leads, I embrace it. And I welcome every moment of it.

"So how was it ... your life without me?"
~ parallel realities

A singular point of awareness.
All creatures have one.

I will know you in the moon and stars of clear nights.

The days go by. You are remembered and missed and loved in each one of them. Hugs and snuggles and cuddles and kisses. Until we are together again, sweet gentle soul.

A momma mallard and her 3 baby ducklings, finding their way along the Fraserview trail. Worried about you. I hope you're all safe and sound, wherever you are. May you thrive.

Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.
~ W.S. Merwin

May all dogs be loved.
