Dogma_Dog -- Ch.2

Let Dog mark her area
When sensing encroachment on her territory,
For Dog was meant to guard & defend what is rightfully hers.

Dogma_Dog -- Ch.1

Let Dog eat dry Cat food,
For if he lives around Cats,
So shall he eat like one.

Dogma_Dog--A New Series On My Blog

I started a new account on Twitter last night--ADogNamedPuppy@Dogma_Dog .

I played around with this concept of Dogs & Cats bestowing their wisdom upon Humans on Twitter before-- & A lot of Pals seemed to have fun with it. I was inspired suddenly to make a whole new account & let Puppy have full control over this one to share her hard earned insights.

I want to thank everyone who immediately RTed, FAVed, & Replied--Anipals & Writers I've known on Twitter & /or FB for awhile--& New folks I hadn't met until Puppy shared her wisdom & advise Living Life With A Dog.

So I thought--What a fun way to play around some more with my writing--& share something new with you here on my Blog--So Puppy & I will come here often sharing her insights with you--& I as her typist will share a life through the eyes of a Dog.

Enjoy.

Free To Love Again--A Rescue Animal's Prayer--Hope&Survivors/#Anipals--My Fur Babies(You Know Why)

This touch.
This Peace.
This moment.

This opportunity gone by
Like so many others
As they pass me by.

This one thing I beg
I ask of you.
A plea from 
Silent lips.
From eyes
Movements
Sighs
That say 
I need you.

This one thing
That binds us together.
That keeps me apart 
From the others.
That lets me know
Let's me believe
I'm not alone.

Your words
Your strength
Your arms 
That carry me.
Rescue me
From this place.

'I have you'
'You're safe now'
'It's ok'
'I won't let anyone hurt you'
'You're home'

These are all I need
From you.
All I ever 
Have to hear.

I'll know I can 
Be free again.
Now
Please don't ever
Let me go.

Shadows--C-M A (You Know Why)--Writers--Frienship--Hope&Survivors

Black Diamonds
Like the layers of a Soul
Dark
Smooth.
Translucent to some
Only those who know where to look.
Those who know how to move
Touch
Transcend
The space inside.
That place 
A core so deep
So beyond where most people
Care to go.
Once found
A Soul illuminated
Never to be left
In the dark alone again.

Hold On-Be Proud--Mental Illness--Recovery/Hope&Survivors--Why I do what I Do On My Blog

From my Facebook Post---

I sat here last night, thinking...Things going through my head, what I've read about Robin Williams death a few days ago.

I watched & read the news reports ranging from cold to vulture-like--The personal accounts of friendship & sadness from celebrities making me wonder which of these were just self-serving--& Genuine pleas from Mental Heath advocates that reach out every day.

And I became more & more angry.

I've been there--With people I love--& Seen the shit storm--The Hell--The waking nightmares--That Mental Illness can be.

The courage--The incredible beauty in these hearts--The persistence--The shear unbelievable strength it takes to face some days.

And then--As a man who spent his life giving to others looses his battle to Illness--I hear assholes like the idiot newscaster announce Robin Williams was a "coward"--& Later gave a save-his-own-ass apology on air for his words.

I hear misinformed, heartless opinions like--If a person who does this loved  his family more--If he wasn't so selfish--If he tried harder--Why didn't he just get help--Why did he start using--Shoulda--Woulda--Coulda...

It's funny how--You'd never hear this about Cancer...

If they wanted to live more--If they just took their meds--If they just tried harder...

Because Mental Illness is an 'Invisable Disease'--People think it doesn't exist--Not REALLY--That if they just sucked it up & got over it already, they'd be fine, like everyone else. Look around you--The so called Everyone Else suck. Why be like someone who refuses to understand, or care?

Let me spell it out--There. Is. No. Shame. In. Mental Illness.

Be who you are--Get the help you need because YOU ARE WORTH IT--Live One Step At A Time-One Day At A Time.

Today--Right now--May be shit--But a minute from now--May not be. It will fluctuate--It always will. But if it can get cloudy--That only means that the sun can come out again.

Hold On--Be Proud--Surround Yourself With People Who Give A Shit--And Find A Reason To Wait For Another Sunny Day.

Poets Blessing--Writer/Musicians--Angels Guardians & Soulmates

A Poet.
A bond inside of me.
You touch me
Taste me
Hold me here.

Your words.
They move inside of me.
Your voice
On this page
In your music.
Moves me
Cresses me
Heals.

Your rythem.
Pounds inside my Soul.
I hear it
Feel it
Think of it
Always.

Your Spirit.
It lives inside of me now.
Feeds me
Takes care of me
Nourishes
Protects.

All of this
From a page
From a song
Outside of me.
I take with me
I charish
I nurture
I love.
