listening,   watching,     this Morning.

then,

i haven't seen Puppy for today the second day,   and i hear dogs down by the big Gate which can mean down at the canal,   where dogs sometimes come,   OR  it could have been just the Horse Woman across the Way's dogs….sounding different as it sometimes happens  but  with  the  tension of  Puppy missing,    i  thought i should walk  down….see  if  anything  was  happening,  and   

at the curve,   across from   Jack's yard

an  odd shape just off the road  up….and   it's Ginger.   Very dead.   Bloated with the heat which is  104 or so

i  don't  know this morning  Feed….didn't  think  to  notice,    just Fed and filled the water tubs.   Yesterday at Eve  Feed,  i  remember telling her how Beuaty Full a Goat she is….her markings….the  prettiest  Goat  we have  and she was Fine……

i  went to  SEARCH   in the sidebar  here  and  there was a comment from  Dana…7~25~15  a  pic  of  Ginger….BUT   also  about the  Tay Cloth  for  Wendy

and here….in   this  moment,  in the dark,   i  think  how much Tay has taught me/ is teaching me     about death

    Sadness over this news but Ginger left with your words from earlier, speaking to her, showing her love and caring. We never know what can come but what we do know is to show love at any time… that is what we give.
    Sending love and hoping that Puppy is just around the corner…

    We forget and then we’re reminded of how intertwined we are . And there is a beginning and an end that is not a beginning or an end. May you walk in beauty. Pup is not lost, he is having an adventure. May that adventure end well.

    (((grace))) The heat changes everything. And the very hard not knowing. I got lost for a while traveling back to 2015. Those last days with old cowboy. Waiting. The Tay cloth. And seeing the making of moth moon again. It lives here with me now. I see it when I wake up.

    And again from 2015 these words: “The suffering and happiness each of us experiences is a reflection of the distortion or clarity with which we view ourselves and the world.” Dalai Lama
