“You meet saints everywhere. They can be anywhere. They are people behaving decently in an indecent society.”

Kurt Vonnegut

“Every saint has a past, every sinner a future.”

Oscar Wilde

The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They fail to alter their views to fit the facts. Instead, they alter facts to fit their views.

Genuine Companions

On how the Creator enjoys us just being us.

I saw Bonnie just being a dog. Completely absent any pretense, worry or discontent.

She thrives in her freedom unconstrained, and yet depends on connection with me.

I think the Creator is like this – deriving the greatest pleasure, surprise and simple enjoyment through genuine companionship.

Bonnie has only three legs, a cancer survivor. She also survived 5 days in a Pacific Coast storm after being gunshot. I found her limping home in the middle of the night. She made the choice to return and got in the truck on her own. I didn’t force her, I was too afraid she’d panic and run again.

Sounds quite a lot like my life. Some wounds you bear forever. Some relationships are indelible, constant and ultimately trustworthy, forever. No matter what.
