i said to my dogwalker friend, What would they do without us? Have fun, she said. Of course they's probably have too much fun and get impounded, but she's right, it's we that need them more.

Cuz they are kinder, gentler, more generous of spirit than we are. And they have a way of working things out.

 We are the ones who are lost, the ones wandering around on the leash who are lost.

We walk around clutching the leash, waiting for the inevitable to happen again, waiting for a miracle, doing nothing to transform ourselves or this deadly society.

 Oh god we're a whole race of lost souls.

Ha! Yet we're blessed with unwarranted love & radiance & forgiving & abiding & adaptive Nature.
