  1. “Every dog happens for a reason, the reason is its purpose”

    Is this true, with all parts of creation, and with me too, what is God’s (creation’s) reason for me, and what is my purpose?

    Our purpose’s are all the same, in a way.

    It is to involve our self in our self, so that God is seen through us, and then we become a customised vehicle for his love, with a unique way of living from it, and explaining it, and giving it to others too.

    Dog’s surely always do this, without overthinking about it, like we so often do.

    • as always you raise an interesting question. The purpose of dogs, to me it seems their purpose is to love without question.

      I think, based on some of the horrible owners I’ve met they should love with questions but they don’t/ They love without question.

      • You are right, dogs love without question, but I believe that some mother’s love the same way, their children.

        My own mother died about a year and a half ago now, and unfortunately, about the only time that I told her that I really loved her, was a week, or two before she died.

        I am mostly in my head, and I find it rather hard to talk openly out loud from my heart.

        Unfortunately, my Dad died before I could say that to him too, but then again, I do not know if I really wanted to say it to him either, but perhaps I should have, before he died.

        Anyway, since my mother died, she comes to me in my dreams sometimes, or she talks to me during special moments, saying something special to me.

        This is what she told me recently, and it made me rather sad, in some ways too.

        “I loved you from the day you were born, to the day l died, and yet, at times, l felt that you did not love me.

        “That is a mother’s lot though, and l was glad when, near the end of my life, you said to me, “l love you, mum.”‘

        • i suspect you were you. The edges we find rough as children are polished by experience and time.

          The reality of honesty, sometimes is that as children we say what we think. But we do not always say what is the truth.

          The truth is the reflection of how rounded our edges are, how complete our ability to step beyond our own emotional response and that is the goal of a parent.

          There are many models that one can use to build the perfect person, but the most successful models are the ones designed to produce a human being.
