18 Reasons I want to be a dog



                                                
18 REASONS I WANT TO BE A DOG

1. I’d be fuzzy, like the essence of love.
2. I’d wag my tail and be at one with the universe. I’ve always wanted a tail.
3. My nose would be like a button on a sock puppet.
4. I’d know what I wanted, when I wanted it. I ‘d bark until I got it.
5. I wouldn’t have germ phobias. I’d welcome touch.
6. My tongue would be glorious.
7. I’d snarl and let the world know it.
8. I’d be enraptured much of the time.
9. I’d sleep whenever I wanted, as much as I wanted.
10. I’d keep strangers away. I’d be permitted to hate.
11. I wouldn’t have to know table manners.
12. I wouldn’t care what was on TV.
13. My hands and feet would be more alike. I’d crawl again
like I did before everything happened.
14. I’d amaze humans for my differences and similarities.
15. I’d love the thrill of the chase.
16. My dreams would not be overpopulated with strange cities
and people who like me though they do not exist
and I wouldn’t miss my bus stop, pulling and pulling the chord in fear,
or care if I were naked on 5th Avenue.
17. I’d belong to the earth. I’d roll in it,
luxuriate in it, eat its bitter wood,
offer it my piss and shit and puke up its grass
and the earth would give back, give back,
it would know me as no clothed human could.
18. I’d ride in the car with my head out the window
and the wind would lick my face.

Here's a dozen of my favorite things never to apologize for:


1) Never apologize for acting on your instincts.
2) Never apologize for being passionate.
3) Never apologize for being smart.
4) Never apologize for demanding respect.
5) Never apologize for saying no.
6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.


Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
