Circa Magazine

White snowflakes drifting
beneath the old oak tree
dancing in the streetlight.
Through the thick gray rain,
the outline of a maple
peers back at me.
Dewdrops hang in a line
down the camellia blossoms
falling off the tip.

Opening Your Heart to a Pet Companion
Published in natural Awakenings, January 2009, Megan Cutter explores the joys and challenges of pet adoption and hi-lights two local pet rescue centers.
In October, our family adopted Basho, one of six puppies that were found in a drainpipe. The family who found them became foster parents until permanent homes were located. We worked with an independent pet adoption agency to process the adoption, which included a detailed application and a first meeting. When we met Basho, our hearts melted and we knew this puppy was our new pet companion. Since we already had a black lab, we knew the work that would go into training a new puppy- it has been well worth it.

A few months ago, a couple at my church, Mindy and Eric Young, invited anyone in our church group to participate in Bujinkan Martial Arts, authentic ninja training that traces its lineage through a thousand years. I procrastinated attending until I experienced a personal tragedy and needed to let go of the stress in my life.

Outside my window, I listened to their baa-ing chiming together in harmony on the
Isle of Skye. I peeked out my window and saw two lambs jumping and playing beside a recently shaved ram. Before the rest of my family woke up, I opened the door to the bed and breakfast for my early morning walk, and a baby lamb bleated and jumped to the protection of its mother, scaring me as well. I walked across the green hills surrounded by white and black sheep grazing on the rich grass, where white clouds rolled over the hills to the edge of the loch, picking up seashells, pondering how many years the shells had been buried in the rich soil.
