Mog the Dog here.

Yesterday my favorite human companion planted a twig beside a sprouting pea plant just to see if its first tendril would reach out and grab it.

At some unknown moment in the middle of the night, it did.

And I watched it all, from my spot on the sidelines, as she wondered what it must be like to be a living thing without eyes to see the beauty of its own purpose in life and without sentience to stop and take a moment to wonder about the life form that set everything into its rightful place (including an extra layer of chicken wire) so that a sprouting pea plant could reach out and grab a twig so that a sentient being could smile...

and so that a small flock of hens could be a bit frustrated by a tiny treat just out of reach...

and so that a little toy brindle dog could sit on the sidelines, out of sight but not out of mind, on this fine early autumn morning...

to take it all in, as only a metaphor can do.

Does it get any better than all that?

No, it doesn't.

Thanks once again for your invitation to stop and see the small wonders of life.
