River Rocks and Dogs
If you have ever loved a dog, then you know the pain and sadness that comes to you when the dog’s life ends. I am better for the life of a dog. The dog, works in our life, much the same as the flowing water in the river that smooth the rocks in its path.
Remove the rock from the river and the rock keeps the memory of the water. We are changed forever as we keep the memory of the dog. Just as the rock cannot change back to what it was before it met the flowing water, you cannot go back to who you were before you loved a dog. A dog changes your heart over time, and continually erodes away the hard and rough parts, revealing what you wish could be known to yourself and others. Just as the rock cannot change itself without the water, you cannot change yourself without being a part of the dog’s life.
