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.

You have come such a long way Dan, yes we may feel a bit down sometimes but you know that your life is so much better so those down times are moments that have passed and each new moment will be special, treasure each one.

Love the picture.

Interesting to read your comment about blame. You are happy and you are to blame for that.

\"Life\'s light and dark poetic symphony\" what a great phrase you have made there. \"All I need is the air that I breathe\" is really a statement of contentment which is why i chose it for my music the other day. Long ago i accepted myself for what I am and how i think i fit/don\'t fit into the way of things. That ended all inner conflicts. Accepting the past had passed there really was no point in dwelling upon those events... exactly as your learned words tell today. You have travelled far Dan.

It\'s so good to see the love in your words today Dan. To be able to express the love in your heart and before your eyes means you have a treasure any man would be proud of. Stand tall, the tallest of tall, for there is no greater gift than the sharing of love.

within your choice words of nature anchored transparency - we too, recognise those emotions - we could not gather to form tangible thought\'s, let alone have them be versed: so poetically...
thanks for sharing your comforting words of wisdom dear Poet,
Happy New Year, stay safe

Your inner essence shines with love and humility in this verse of tribute to one lovely lady who now departed leaves inspirational lessons for those who know of her battle with cancer. Thanks for this beautiful read Dan which is now in my list of favourites.

I like your poem, P D, and I think it sounds much nicer to say that I am surrounded by dreams than just water!

Cancer is just evil Dan. I lost my brother to it about 5 years back and it had a go at me last year. I came away from it very sick from the treatments but although they never give the all clear, they tell me the treatments worked. They keep an eye on me. Why do i tell all this... easy answer... to get cancer out and away from the terrified cupboard.... the best thing anyone can do for themselves about cancer is to expect to get it, look for it and report it early.... that way they can treat it.... if you\'re scared of it and wont report yer symptoms it\'ll kill ya.
The best tool anyone can have is a positive frame of mind - facing up to it and telling yourself you\'re going to win. These days it can be cured if caught early. My brother was negative about it and it killed him. He was afraid to face up to it and it had him.
I tell this to everyone when the subject arises.

Yes, as your post says, our thoughts are the foundations upon which our dreams romance. Carry the good thoughts of good experiences and let those other thoughts fall into the mists of unwelcome. I think that encourages a healthier mind, a more positive outlook, a happier life.
Just like my old pal \'desiderata\' encourages, be proud of your achievements - there will always be greater and lesser persons - be at one with who you actually are.

Wishing you and yours a safe and healthy new year Dan and many more happy years to come.

\'but got told by another dog walker to give me a call as it\'s been said I can work miracles.....\' (if I say so myself), lol
nothing more rewarding than to see a good person rise and rise again, as many times as it takes! own that power of self-worth and pride: earned outright, from having overcome all the obstacles in their lives and knowing - they\'re now well equipped for all the future stumbles that await...
more power to you Dan!
keep singing your song and sharing all that positivity you\'ve mind from within...
Happy holidays dear Poet, stay safe and revel - indulgently, in your well earned rewards of \'innocent minds, looking-up at you with contagious: carefree smiles\'
