Dog or not we have mostly forgot

You\'re so right Dan, not that you need me to tell you LOL. My jobs were always in peoples homes and often I would encounter that noisey alert nervous dog scenario. What do I do...I ignore it completely (unless it\'s growling and slavering - i\'m out the door if its one of those). In it\'s own time the dog will quieten down and get enquisitive just as u suggest. I still ignore it and let it get used to the idea i\'m not a threat. Now I love dogs so it\'s a pleasure if that dog changes it\'s demeanor and lets me pet it. They mostly do. Always a dog is more on the alert though if I, as a solitary big male with a deep voice, should come into it\'s space where it is with the lady of the house. This has always given me the impression that a dog or bitch is being very protective of that lady of the house. Everybody should be aware of these things in dog behaviour. Eye contact should be momentary, if at all, until the dog relaxes. Also if you pretend to yawn it helps relax the dog.... yawning cannot be seen as in any way aggressive.

I like this one P D! Maybe the world IS spinning faster. It seems to me that time accelerates as we age.

Funny thing about nature is, you don\'t ever have to ask if it\'s true or false cos it\'s nature doing it\'s thing. Maybe the further away from nature we get, the more we fall out of harmony with just being what we are.

The positive power that you have have found over recent times will be the strength that you now have to live your life in a great ways despite the obstacles that come your way Dan.

\'For many reasons I want to write this but quite a few angles makes it hard to pick which!
I do feel we overload ourselves with expectation and normal rely on others for self reflection.\'
I would suggest some 75% of sincere Poetry may began with these thoughts you\'ve versed so accessibly: relatable.
A wonderful write dear Poet,
I\'m sorry you\'re experiencing one of life\'s \'sharp slaps\' of fate.
Still, I have faith in the wisdom you exemplify within your rhymes of shared solace,
I\'m certain you possess the ability to unfurl realisable avenues for managing this obstacles before you,
and I look forward to reading the fruits they will yield, once you\'ve found that safe place to land,
if I you permit me to share my two scents worth of \'learned through mistake\' - insight:
remember to share a simple joke or pick a flower or simply offer a hug, to that treasured someone(s) by your side
even in the most challenging of times, for in simply appreciating the gift - that is their presence in your life,
you will remind yourself - that yes their may still be worse to come,
but still, you possess some treasures other\'s can only dream of...
keep the faith my friend, sing your song even in the face of that bleak that threatens to swallow you whole: sing it loud and unashamedly Proud!

thought provoking words my friend,
inclusive of those opposing extremities within reality,
yet still undeniably sang with a positive perspective\'s yield of self-mined prudence, choosing to believe in our ability to dictate and govern what fates: we are faced with,
a wonderful read

I\'m sorry to read you are having a tough time at the moment. Shit happens and really tests us. You know you have the love of the family unit around you though, imagine if you were alone with all that going on.
I think you identify well the inner peace to be found when detaching from the hum-drum and hustle of city life and let your mind relax into your surroundings. I know it works for me and several others on here. Some have found a contact with the life force, the creator spirit, in this way. A way which was there long before christian churches interfered with our natural spirituality with all their mumbo jumbo.
Stay safe and don\'t lose sight of the fact that you will be on the other side of problems before long and this pandemic will also end.
Sincere best wishes to you and yours at this time my friend.

Nice poem Dan and tied up nicely on the last line. I\'ve met a lot of different people and got to thinking people either grew up with the presence or an absence of love...real thoughtful stuff mate.

Dark side of the moon
L. B. Mek said:
kinda crazy, what a few inked blots of alphabet can do on a blank canvas of possibility, when it\'s utilised with such sincerity...
when we share, our reality - stripped: from that \'self\' we think \'needs\' to be \'projected\',
distilled to that raw truth of chaotic fragility - we choose to own, in that mirror reflection we can barely confront, yet still find the strength to accept as our true selves...
what a beautiful write my friend, never take for granted this avenue of solace your writing provides to other\'s but also - more importantly: yourself,
thanks for sharing!

You know that life can be hard you have had hard times but you have got through them and have been finding the light side of the moon, this hard times are in your mind but the more you move forward with the light you have found the less times you will remember them.
See you tonight Dan under the light of the moon.

\'For still within this tortured mind many laugh as many cry, unable to see what others do! I keep up the blag until it becomes true, the proof is in the pudding mine must be good!
Unless we are all insane and around for tea, I take no sugar and Mad Hatter takes three!\'
Brilliant!
thank you for sharing dear Poet

Wonderful words Dan which come straight from your heart which has become so much stronger and more positive with the new life that you are finding.
Wonderful tribute to you in the letter that you published from Soraya and Bubba, you certainly have found your place in life.

I reckon in a previous life somewhere you were the alpha male of the wolf pack Dan. You must have done something wrong though cos you\'ve come back as a human, a lower life form. But hey, we\'re all making the best of this human thing although i\'m sure the animals laugh at us really.
There was a dog tethered outside the post office and as i walked in wearing a mask you could tell that this dog was thinking \"I wonder who that bloke has bitten to have to wear that muzzle\"
Praise where praise is due Dan... you know about dogs for sure. And you make wicked vids.
