More...Spirit
Catherine Ryan Hyde
Have you ever seen a dog doing a walking meditation? Neither had I. Neither have most people, I suspect.
But when I began my "More Puppy" meme, I heard from an old friend and colleague, Lance Secretan. He linked my "More Puppy" Facebook note (the original one, featuring Ella) to an amazing video of his and his wife's late canine companion Spirit the Wonder Dog.
"Our Wonder Dog was named 'Spirit,'" Lance said. "She lived with us for 14 years and is now in hound heaven. But she had a unique habit -- meditating around a tropical plant in our house. We called it the 'Zen Walk.'"
I had never seen anything like this. So I'm passing it on.
PS: Lance says Spirit is in hound heaven. I say she stepped out of her temporary dog costume and is now pure...Spirit.
