In the past year, Charlie and Saxy have developed a gentle sweetness between them. They stand together for hours, share piles of hay, softly touch noses, and follow each other around their pen. There is a deep, knowing wisdom between them. Perhaps they too sense that their time together in their physical bodies is coming to a close. They know to soak up every moment, every instance of quiet togetherness, before Saxy becomes spirit, all air and energy and love around us, and “togetherness” takes on a new meaning. They've always known this, and we could all learn from them.
I’m trying to capture this season and the energy of their friendship. Maybe by the time summer is over, I’ll have been successful. Maybe all the time we have spent together acknowledging the truth of what has been, and what lies ahead, will culminate in something that shows what it is to care as authentically as these two care for one another.
