Re: The Nature of Life A REPLY...from ken the squarehead..

[Guest guest]

Dear Sierra....this is ken...often called " SquareheadKen " ..haha....this is the

first I have been able to actually get up, and " hit the keyboard " ....I was so

suprised to see just how many friends i REALLY DO have out there...but before I

got a chanch to, I saw your post...and I felt, that even if it was Kim who wrote

it, I must converse with you first....I hope you don't mind?

***God knows every hair on our head...inmy case,

it's 23. He also knows who He can place His special creations with,

in order that they will recieve, throughout their lives, the same caring

and love He gives us...Obviously, dear Seirra, YOU were " such a person'......as

am I . I give you this....a dog, any dog, knows when he/she " messed up " ....they

hang their lil' doggie heads in shame, because they KNOW they are busted!.Dogs

can think. therefore, because they think, they know God! God says " even the

rocks will rise up and praise Him!. Therefore, your beloved longtime loved one

will be WAITING for you!

And that is so cool, 'cause as anyone knows...all dogs go toHeaven ***

Someday, like I do, when there is nothing going on, I'll get this sly, stupid

grin, a secret grin, remembering some of the dumb, and fun things I and my dog

shared...and no one else but you have those special secret memories, that will

shortly give you . ,also, the loving remembrance ,mixed with seasonings of the

sweet happiness you both shared....I am so sorry for your loss.... I know how it

is....all my love to you..heal quickly,and leave the candle burning, because

it's only a change of direction! love, ken

Half an hour ago, a vet came to our home and released our beloved dog

from her suffering. It was a peaceful exit, and after a good cry, I am

left with a spiritual sense of understanding about life's beginnings,

endings, and challenging in-betweens. In my view, attachment and

clinging cause suffering--attachment to people, to the health we used

to enjoy, to fantasies of wealth, to addictive cravings for food, etc.

If something gets in the way of our strong desires, we suffer. The

alternative is to simply accept the way things are. I used to have a

healthy body, I do not now. I used to have a dog, that dog is gone. I

can let the tears flow, feel the pain, but there is peace when I soften

and let things be, just as they are.

Wishing you all peace today.
