Today I awaken to the sound of the doggies rustling around downstairs. I get up and bring Mr. Bear and Miss Maddie outdoors while David continues to sleep. Now that is a rare occurrence, I am up before David. Hearing the doggies this morning is just one example of how we all listen to the sounds that make up our lives.
We pay attention. I try my best to listen: to the doggies, to the geese as they fly overhead, to the coyotes when they howl at night, to my children, to David, to the lessons learned on the yoga mat, to my art making, to my family and to my friends.
It is my friends and my family who are the boldest sometimes. They give me information I may not glean from any other source. Don’t you love how honest your friends and family can be? They will bravely tell you what no one else will dare to mention, and they’ll even tease you about it.
