Dogs Can Smile, was Subjective / Objective Enquiry, was Dakini in Meditation

[Guest guest]

Hi Wolf,

>dog's don't

>smile or do they....this one does!)

 

Yes, when I was a kid, my dog smiled. When I came home from school, she

came running down the sidewalk to greet me, wagging her whole rear end and

smiling.

 

When I went to college and then got married, she stayed at home with my

parents. We got a new puppy and took him with us to visit my parents one

weekend. After that, he smiled too... he'd learned from her.

 

Love,

Dharma

hi dhama

 

.....always read & love your posts....full of deep wisdom and joy....i guess

being a mad and crazy dog i have dogs (a dog, jasper by name) on the

brain...my current dog is my first genuine all american pound puppy or

mutt....got him when he was as big as my hand....for the first week i

carried him everywhere....he slept curled around my neck at night.....he is

part dachsund and part australian shepherd....can never figure out if he

wants to hunt or to herd.....although he does not know it he is soon going

to move all the way (three weeks or so) to holland with me to join his new

family there (against all odds of probabity, Mirror and white wolfe are

building a bridge spanning the distance between California and The

Netherlands).....maybe he knows....he is sitting at my feet looking at me

and i think he is smiling....at least he is like me in that his tail is

almost always wagging....^^~~~~

 

love,

 

white wolfe

 

p.s. are you in Los Angeles....may be making a trip down there before i

leave the U.S. to visit relatives....would be nice to meet?

> All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside

back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness.

Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is

where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal

Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously

arising from within into It Self. Welcome all to a.

I love your poetry too.

They say mutts make the best pets... purebreeds tend to have various

problems.

I had two kittens who liked to do that... still doing it when they were

full-grown. I used to wake up with a big cat on either shoulder. )

My first dog that smiled was part shepherd, though not big... a smart dog!

The new puppy came from a farm but looked like pictures of Newfoundland

retrievers. He used to go off with the beagle next door... they'd go a

mile away to a pond to swim together, then come home again. Sometimes

they walked along with the beagle right under him, walking inside his

legs... a pretty funny sight! )))

That's a dog's usual smile, I think. My dog did a real

pull-back-the-corners-of-the-mouth smile... must have copied us. And the

pup learned from her. One of my cats may have smiled a little... not sure

whether it was that or just from crinkling his eyes to smile.

>p.s. are you in Los Angeles....

 

Yes, the P.O. is Los Angeles, though I'm actually in Mar Vista.

Yes, wonderful!! My daughter and her two boys are coming on June 23, but

it sounds like you'll be coming through before then.

 

I'll send you my address and phone number, and you can let me know when

you're coming.

 

Love,
