Gayle Nastasi, animal consultant and author
I was searching in my old Blogger archives this morning, looking for inspiration for this month’s newsletter. I actually was searching for something totally different, but happened across the issue I’m quoting below.
As I looked at the date, saw the opening lines, my heart nearly stopped.
The day after I wrote this … my mother died.
For as long as there has been human culture, that culture has had a strong association with the animals with which we share our world.
Many of us would say that our soul-anchor animal friends have seen us through some of the hardest times of our lives. They offer shelter through pain, fear and deep depression. They bring us comfort and so very many reasons to laugh, even on our darkest days. They keep our spirit’s ship secure when the waters get choppy and the skies turn black. They are the sunshine that breaks through the clouds to remind us that all will be well again.
Almost everyone I know who has loved animals, or at least those people with enough years behind them to have relished in the experience, can tell the story of at least one soul-anchor.
Who are your special ones? Have you known more than one? Are they still with you in the physical? Or are they now forever with you in the beyond?
Reach out to them today, and give them each a soul-deep hug from me.
