If you go down to the woods today...

Collected my Wednesday pack this morning: Malamut, Setter, Boxer joined by the Ridgeback I am looking after and of course my two gorgeous Labs. The Malamut howled literally all the way to the woods with Zulu adding in the tenor howl. It was deafening in the jeep and decided to join in. If you can't beat 'em join 'em!

We only ran for 40 minutes through the woods at as fast a space as I could without Zulu wanting to lag behind. But even he was up for keeping the pace this morning. The energy of the pack was calm and we had the woods to ourselves for the most part, as its not always welcomed to see a large pack approaching as we experienced this morning. Dogs we pass want to join and run with us, but some owners can be overwhelmed by the numbers and breeds and soon transfer their fear to their dog, without even realizing it. Dogs outside the pack get confused between the fear and frustration of their owners versus their innate urge to socialize and be part of the pack. An owner of a very overweight lab this morning screamed at me to call the dogs off as we were passing. Dogs do what dogs do and the etiquette is to meet and greet by sniffing bottoms, mouth licking and lots of wagging. Its such a shame some dog owners don't see the beautiful communication between them. I could feel the woman still huffing when I was in the distance, which took me a while to shake off her negative energy coming in my direction. Just blessed her and kept running, as did the dogs. The moment was over and neither of us were hanging onto it. Great lessons to be learnt from these gorgeous creatures about living in the moment. Past is past, present is ALL and the future insignificant until it becomes the present.

Something interesting to share with you. I was reading a book last night, which I've had for many years but never finished, called Soul Talks by Rod Suskin. South Africans would know this person well. The last chapter talks about how in the Golden age(Satya Yuga) we were 100% connected and through the ages of the Silver(Treta Yuga) through Bronze(Dvapara Yuga) and now Iron age(Kali Yuga) we are now less than 25% connected. A degeneration of our spirituality and our disconnectedness to the source.

I have also recently been re-reading 'Heal Thyself' by Dr Bach and he talks about our vulnerability to disease when our Union (Soul & Earth Personality) becomes separated by conflict.
extrace: "Disease is the result of a conflict, when the personality refuses to obey the dictates of the soul, when there is disharmony, disease, between the Higher or Spiritual Self, and the lower personality as we know ourselves."
 In a conversation this morning with someone whom I admire greatly we got into a discussion about left and right brain, our left brain dominance that is suffocating our right brain which is vital to our consciousness and survival. She recommended a book which I am about to order, but here is a link the the author's website ri check it out. The Master and the Emissary.  If you are someone who asks questions about the world we live in and how we got to be where we are and why we are the way we are, then this book may have some of the answers you're looking for.

On a lighter note I had chocolate for breakfast and it was divinely decadent. A cocao and pear smoothie with all the trimmings: Maca, Suma, He Shou Wu, Acai berry and Coconut water.
