Unconditional



My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my dog already thinks I am.

I took this photo when I was in Redmond, Washington last May. This woman and her dog were looking out over a beautiful lake that had ducks and turtles as well as eagles flying overhead.

I was thinking about my dog this morning. Joline, an Australian Shepard, died many years ago but I still think about her and miss her. There is simply nothing like a relationship with a dog as anyone who has ever had one knows.

I found the above quote in quotegarden.com, a good place to find quotes, when I went looking for a quote that captured this special relationship.

What would it be like to live in the world with the enthusiasm and love that a dog so naturally possesses? Living in the present is so dog-like perhaps all seekers should give themselves an assignment of observing and playing with dogs.

Today I am going to be on the lookout for dogs and spend time watching them. If I am lucky, I'll get the chance to pet one.
