first full moon.
with the first full moon of the new year having passed, focus remains on "staying grounded" and no better teacher to guide than K9s. just seeing JO (our husky) is a reminder that ALL living beings desire to be pleased and not injured.
how are we so different from other animals?
"patience" is another word that comes to mind...a story to share:
ordering takeout at OM is a favorite among us Ferndealers, and so naturally i conceded to a delightful order of NORI rolls and nachos. welp, 45 minutes later, the nachos were cold (and without any veggies or beans) and patience was running thin.
(please note: this is some of the best VGN food in metro detroit, but they are only open one day a week, and chronically under-staffed, so naturally, they were slammed, and empathy is there for'm, but anyhow..)
stepping out into 13degree weather and starting the 10-block commute home, the thoughts continued: "why didn't they just.." and "how come they just can't.." into a state of madness, such insanity! turning the corner to find a planet-sized moon (it really is that big) on the eastern horizon was a huge relief...
it's as if the moon was saying, "there are bigger things than this!" lesson learned. from now on, following the K9 way, sitting, doing nothing, the takeout comes, spring comes, and the grass grows itself.
