RIP Scout (2007-4/2/21) You were not the easiest d $RIP Scout (2007-4/2/21) You were not the easiest dog, but you were loved completely. And already deeply missed. Humans get a lot of things wrong, but bringing animals into our homes and loving them as members of our family is not one of them. I read this blessing by John O’Donahue as he transitioned: To Learn from Animal Being Nearer to the earth’s heart Deeper within its silence Animals know this world In a way we never will. We who are ever Distanced and distracted By the parade of bright Windows thought opens: Their seamless presence Is not fractured thus. Stranded between time Gone and time emerging, We manage seldom To be where we are: Whereas they are always Looking out from The here and now. May we learn to return And rest in the beauty Of animal being, Learn to lean low, Leave our locked minds, And with freed senses Feel the earth Breathing with us. May we enter Into lightness of spirit, And slip frequently into The feel of the wild. Let the clear silence Of our animal being Cleanse our hearts Of corrosive words. May we learn to walk Upon the earth With all their confidence And clear-eyed stillness So that our minds Might be baptized In the name of the wind And the light and the rain.$
