2:30 a.m. There's a kind of beauty that takes place in the wee hours of the morning. With a full moon rising and Golden Kobi asleep by my side I find a peace and solitude I rarely experience. But tonight that peace is alive. My Golden Boy lies asleep at my side, breathing in little spurts, his feet moving just ever so slightly…I think he's out slaying dragons for us all…
Sunday was a day filled with motion…I reorganized the office closet then Ron and I completely decluttered and organized the garage…we called a company that specializes in hauling away junk and poof!!! Our lives are awash in freedom from too much stuff…
Every time we would enter the yard from the garage our Golden Boy and Little Guy Oscar were waiting for us…Kobi would be holding a ball in his mouth hoping beyond hope we might throw it for him (and of course we did). Oscar would mostly just lie in the yard chewing on his hard plastic bone
Both our kids were content with a single object…they didn't need more. And here we were throwing away a garage full of stuff we hadn't touched in years. Every time we greeted them through the garage door we were reminded of why we didn't need a "certain special treasure" we were so desperately clinging to…one of those special, amazing something or others…that had lived in a plastic bin for nearly 10 years.
Bone or ball verses Christmas decorations we had used once in the yard but didn't really like them or enjoy the process of putting them up so…why were we keeping them?…
Kobi stretches out his legs with a big sigh…he's in agreement…he would much rather just play a little ball…no need for all that stuff unless maybe it's a nice smelly old blanket he likes to sleep on…
Suckling the sun…licking the moon…leaving the past behind…stretching long as the present pulls in the future…laying down the need for more while spreading our wings and experiencing the beauty with nothing but the sky and the sun, the moon and the earth…all offering their magic…surrounded and absorbed in their natural essence…I touch their light and surrender all to the Divine…my life excuisit with a husband rare and two golden boys who are now semi-awake waiting for the alarm to go off announcing their daily early morning walk…that's even better than a single ball or bone…now we're down to nothing, emptiness and the joy of walking, sniffing and peeing…who knew life could be so full?
