May’s already more than half gone? How time flies when your family’s expanding!
We met Pita and Nell at the Nashville Humane Association on May 1. The place was closed on May 2. We were there waiting for the doors to open on May 3. It’s been a blur ever since, they’re the highest-energy canines I’ve ever been around. But life feels right again. Life is just better with dogs.
Standing on the bare ground,—my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into
infinite space,—all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball.
And then Pollan speculates that genuine spirituality just may be that condition of egolessness, the transparency of vision without an overbearing sense of subjective selfhood, however arrived at. I’m with him on that. I’ve stood on the bare ground of transparency myself, not catalyzed by mushrooms or acid or toad venom (!) but by the footsteps that carry me away from all mean egotism.
I’m always carried by my own footsteps, for sure, but am happily accompanied again now by my four-footed companions’ pawsteps as well. We three don’t need psychedelics to change our minds.
