In the deep woods, Fate and Red run alongside one another, up and down the long trails, up and down the big hills. It is uplifting to see their joyous and uninhibited spirits bounding up the trails, alongside one another, eager but never tired. These dogs have the most amazing energy, they never tire of the woods, they do sleep when they get home.

Out there, I feel the Canopy of Peace described in the Kabbalah, when peace hovers, when all spirits, whirlwinds, demons, rage and the dimensions of impurity are driven away. That is what I feel when I see these beautiful spirits running so freely. It frees a part of me.
