A dear friend comes to the door late one evening, sobbing uncontrollably.  Her companion cat–the noisy one–had a sudden fit and died instantly.  We held her and we talked as we all tearfully joined her in sadness.

Thank Heaven for these little beings who are nearby in every bit of our daily life.  Whether a dog we walk, rain or shine, or a cat that yells for breakfast every morning.  They are true companions and many of us seem to relate to them easier than with belief-busting, idea-bumping, passion-illiciting humans.

Here is to the little ones that love us, for their coming and going through our lives.  For the love they are made of and the love they teach us.  The Divine frosting that reminds us there is also a big cake within those little pitter patter.  That there is plenty and always love to be with us, snuggle, wag their tail delightedly–it is the delight of the Divine.
