I’ve put a couple of videos on this blog before that had me tearing up. By the time I was done watching this one, I was bawling for breakfast. Oh my, the heart just never forgets and it’s not just humans who have this beautiful capacity to love. This video illustrates the many ways we communicate to each other: I see you.

It’s a very unlikely duo in this short video, illustrating how the heart knows no bounds. Mind can take us somewhere else, but the heart will always lead us home.

God couldn’t be here himself
so he clothed his Helpers in fur
and sent them to Earth
be soft he said
and they were
lick he said
and they did
purr he said
and they did
love, love, love he said
as if nothing else ever mattered
and o, how they do.

What Is Real?
Posted in Inspiration, Life, Love, tagged Animals, Books, Fairys, Inspire, Kids, Rabbit on July 27, 2009| 1 Comment »
The Velveteen Rabbit – I read this book to my son the other day and bawled like a baby. No offense intended to you babies out there, ok? I could hardly believe I had this book all these years and had never actually read it in its entirety. About three quarters of the way through it, my son could hear my voice crack as I tried to choke back the tears (unsuccessfully, by the way) and he said, “stop reading Mommy because it’s making you cry”. I replied “it’s o.k. honey because the end of the book will be a happy ending as all my endings are happy endings”. And so it was and so it is.
“What is Real?”
asked the Rabbit one day.
“Does it mean having things that buzz
inside you and a stick-out handle?”
“Real isn’t how you are made.”
said the Skin Horse.
It’s a thing that happens to you.
When a child loves you for a long,
long time, not just to play with, but
REALLY loves you, then you become
Real. It doesn’t happen all at once.
You become. It takes a long time.
Generally, by the time you are Real,
most of your hair has been loved off,
you get loose in the joints and very
shabby. But these things don’t matter
at all because once you are Real you
can’t be ugly except to people who
don’t understand.”

Yes, you saw it here first, well unless you have access to the BBC. I love these new discoveries, the world is awash in them. Now if I could interest you in some land just outside of Seattle where the sun never stops shining. Just give me a call and Happy April Fool’s Day!

This is a one minute video seen by 10 million people in less than a year on youtube. Youtube is such a great format to bring us these kinds of heartwarming renderings that previously sat in someone’s video vault.
Bet you can’t watch it without at least one little happy tear coming to your eyes!
Told ya! There is another video at youtube depicting more images of their life with Christian. And this month they have published a book: Christian the Lion by Anthony Bourke and John Rendall.
The Purpose of the Sun

what is the purpose of the sun?
my cat’s perspective:
the porpoise of the sun
yes, pun intended
we like fish
back to the porpoise of the sun
is to lay
stretched out
long
warm
no cares
naps
yum
the sun is for my people to give up their
worries to
so they come and love and snuggle up
next to me
ah, sun

I Ask Percy How I Should Live My Life
Posted in Happiness, Inspiration, Life, Mary Oliver, Poetry, tagged Animals, Dog, Love, Trust on February 14, 2009| 2 Comments »
I struggled a bit choosing which piece to bring you today to celebrate
love on this Valentine’s Day. I finally settled on this simple and beautiful
poem from Mary Oliver. Dogs are such givers of unconditional love and
if I were to live by Percy’s advice I suspect I would lead a satisfying and
good life.
Love, love, love says Percy.
And run as fast as you can
along the shining beach, or the rubble, or the dust.
Then, go to sleep.
Give up your body heat, your beating heart.
Then, trust.
~Mary Oliver~
