maybe there is no single self, yet maybe the selves that a person comprises all revolve within a soul like planets. a god may get confused (ha! i mean a dog!) at the various voices we may try to quieten. trust is the opening that allows one to communicate the constellation of the soul person. 

meeting rex. there was a dim ghosting in my chest of that time with the dark shephard just because i didn't know. i know more now. rex didn't bark, and directly sat between my legs, when i nuzzled he kissed, i put on the leash and we stepped out. val was with, but i think rex knows me directly now, and for tomorrow we will be good. dogs don't much like change and neither do i. we want to be comforted and comfortable. we know it can be chaos outside. we want to walk in peace of course.
