In the quiet moments by the river, as spring's green deepens and the world seems to slow down, I've found solace in the company of my two dogs, Mukunda and Ulysses. Their recent experiences, including Mukunda's surgery, have imparted profound life lessons that resonate with me. This is a story of companionship, resilience, and the wisdom that our furry friends can offer.
It's been a fortnight since I've tuned out the clamor of the news, and a week since Mukunda underwent a three-hour surgery. As I sat by his side in the operating room, our veterinarian and friend, Frank, checked on my well-being. Despite the anxiety, I was reassured by the steady beep of Mukunda's heart monitor, a stark contrast to a harrowing memory from years past when I lost eight dogs to a violent act.
The days following Mukunda's surgery have been serene. I've spent them in quiet reflection, appreciating the simple joys of life with my dogs. The way the sunlight creates rainbows on Mukunda's paws, the peacefulness of Ulysses' presence, and the harmony they bring into my life are daily reminders of the beauty in existence.
Mukunda and Ulysses have become my spiritual guides, teaching me the value of living in the present. They don't fret about tomorrow or dwell on the past. Instead, they seek harmony and love, thriving in a peaceful environment. They've become my "harmony barometers," signaling when it's time to let go of tension and anxiety and return to a state of balance.
Their presence tunes me into a higher state of consciousness, where happiness exists in a timeless realm. I've come to see them as guardian angels, messengers of peace and silence, reminding me to listen more and judge less.
Turning off the news was a decision I made for my dogs, and it has brought a newfound tranquility to our lives. Mukunda and Ulysses communicate in their own ways—through intuitive glances and, occasionally, loud barks of recognition. Ulysses, the quieter of the two, finds comfort in his spot beneath the kitchen table, while Mukunda, adorned in a T-shirt to protect his stitches, stays close by my side.
Their unique personalities shine through in their actions. Ulysses, the protective Golden Retriever, and Mukunda, the gentle soul, have both shown me the depth of their love and loyalty.
When the time comes for Mukunda and Ulysses to pass on, I know I won't fall apart. They've taught me how to live, love, and forgive. Through their love, I've learned to love myself and recognize the presence within me and all others. Their being has encouraged me to slow down, turn off distractions, and truly listen to the world around me.
Our walks have introduced me to the wonders of nature—the silent heron gliding over the river, the geese that playfully chase Ulysses, and the beauty of the sky above. These dogs are more than pets; they are teachers, friends, and embodiments of divine beauty.
In sharing their story, I hope to inspire others to find the transformative power of a dog's love and the lessons they can teach us about living a fulfilled life.
