purpose the word recurring. thought about that when bear and i swam without a fetching object and she got anxious. next day i thought it was too cold and didn't bring the object but a chunk of would said pick me. i wondered if it would float as it was a dense burl, but it did, though when bear bobbed for it it would pop down and she looked confused and then it would pop up. so she had a purpose in the water and my purpose was clear. beyond that is everything and purpose helps and is all the difference from blind action or resignation to the sick status quo. we all need our own purpose. mister gave me that, and i worried when he would go would his purpose go but it's still there the same purpose to find.
