Thank you, Umair. I wasn’t going to read your post as lately they have felt dark. You caught me with your little one-eyed dog and I couldn’t stop reading and connecting. You described all that had transpired in my last week. In the midst of all the darkness, I stumbled into little points of light, beauty, truth, and communion. I realized how much I have been missing these most essential elements of life being distracted by all the business and noise. Thank you for being so observant and open to sharing your deep life.
I seem to recall that in the film noir "The American", a priest remarks that "Hell is a place without love." My own experience has confirmed (at least to me) the truth of that remark. If we flip that around, then a way to escape from Hell might be to start loving what is endangered, good, or beautiful. It is certainly worth trying.
Thank you Umair, and your little dog, too, for reminding me that I have a choice to align with Eros or Thanatos.
When I align with Eros, I feel like I belong in this world, and I feel kinship with nature (including my fellow humans, because we also part of nature). ❤️🔥
I think the most charming thing about this little story is the fact that this dog was not Snowy, but another small being who had obviously gone through the trauma of losing an eye but was still able to have the courage to connect. The little guy was ready to show love and Umair responded.

Dear Umair,

Grateful for you being in the world…I hope you feel physically better soon. For all of us, I hope we soon have reason to feel psychically better
