Dear Family and Friends,
Last night I headed off to my recently reopened Tai Chi class. Queen Corona has not visited this prefecture of over six weeks, so we all feel confident going again, but of course, remain vigilant. Naturally, all of us are in a state of mild euphoria to be back together and to be able to stretch our limbs in ways we have not had privileged to for weeks.
And with that, I patted the truly Golden Retriever once more, and we went our separate ways. That evening, throughout the night, and even up to this very moment, I feel the gentle, yet radiant Light which that humble and loving creature so generously bestowed.
Love,
Anne
Dear Family and Friends,
Last night I headed off to my recently reopened Tai Chi class. Queen Corona has not visited this prefecture of over six weeks, so we all feel confident going again, but of course, remain vigilant. Naturally, all of us are in a state of mild euphoria to be back together and to be able to stretch our limbs in ways we have not had privileged to for weeks.
As I approached the Budokan, I saw a dog and his owner out for an evening stroll. This pet was unusual in that she stopped in her tracks, one leg almost raised, and stared at me with great intensity, blended with a hint of curiosity. I sensed she was not preparing to attack and I realized if I greeted her, her alert suspension would probably break. So, with my hand outstretched, low and palm down, I slowly approached as I cooed my hello to her. She immediately surrendered, let me come close, and sniffed my hand. When I was approved, she began to shimmer all over with excitement. I massaged behind her ears and patted her head as I continued almost singing to her. She was so delighted she glowed.
I turned to her owner and said, “You are so blessed to live in a house filled with love because of this truly beautiful animal.” “Yes,” he replied. “She is so open, so friendly, so trusting. We are indeed a lucky family.”
