Nothing less than astonishing

Sorry I missed you yesterday.  Wednesdays are my racquetball days with my poodle friend Tinker.
 
Come on don’t look at me that way …
 
Do you think this is such a strange thing?
A long hairy body with short little legs playing racquetball …
I’m not some sort of insignificant weakling …
I am so much different than that.
 
If you look a little closer, you’ll see a tiger inside this teddy bear body …
Something, nothing less than astonishing …
A pup who’s always searching for the place where biscuits are made …
Outlined by the light of the courageous.
 
This is because …
 
I always put a twinkle in everything I see …
Always push my paths into new territory …
I wag my tail at one weary traveler after the next …
Because I know that the line is thin between elation and disappointment.
 
I have no use for standpoints, views or opinions …
There are too many trends and stances drawn from dark places …
For me, I would rather be soft and gentle …
And show you how to live among the stars.
 
That is why your presence is so important to me …
Your mind is common to people …
My mind is common to nature …
And when we snuggle, I’m pulling you over to the happier side.
 
I love you,
 
Annie
