the little puff-ball service puppy with extraordinary calm almost seems to be still arriving from elsewhere, from beyond, like when we make a long trip and then try to catch up with ourselves. or just a baby buddha, content to just look languid and adorable, fluffy and soft, radiant peace, to be petted and rubbed as a baby buddha should.

then again, the next moment seems to be just a puppy, a sweet ordinary puppy, ready to grow and be of service.
