It’s so fun that I’m starting another. I thought initially it would be about healing but what is actually coming together seems to be going in a slightly different direction. My working title is The Oneness Thing – What I Have Learned From the Animals. At the end of the day though, everything to do with oneness IS healing so I won’t sweat the semantics here.

I think all of us who care deeply for animals have some stories about what they have taught us. One that I have up on my site is Best Friend Best Teacher

and says quite a lot about what my dog Alfie has taught me but before that, before I had even heard of animal communication or pet psychics, there was plenty of teaching going on.

Awhile back I wrote this on my blog;

*A Few Thoughts About God

It has always bewildered me that even though it is always said that God is omnipresent, we can still insist that “He” is elsewhere. How can omnipresence exclude you and me? *****

We are God so how can we be better than a rock? Since we are one, you, me, the rock, of course none is better than the other. We are unique expressions though. The rocks around here (Grand Canyon Country) are pretty damned blatant with how spectacular they are. We can learn something from these rocks. Nurse at the great mothers breast isn’t just a metaphor. *****

We ARE one and we love each other deeply and unconditionally. We ARE the body of what we in the west generally refer to as God. Dogs understand this. It is why we love dogs. *****

A friend of mine commented, “Once when I was wandering in the Pennsylvania woods with a friend who was very good at wandering in woods and noticing things, we encountered a bird quite close by, and as I watched the bird and somehow found myself in his being, I suddenly realized that there is bird-shaped being and there is people shaped being and tree shaped being and rock shaped being, and we’re all the same Being…I know what you are talking about here. I felt so much the same as the bird…it changed forever how I saw the world.”

I thought that was interesting because it is so close to an experience I had after my dog Giggs died. I was working security, the graveyard shift at a marina, and spent 8 hours a night walking the docks. Yes, I’ve had my share of dumb jobs to make ends meet. Anyway, the night Giggs died I was of course devastated but as I walked the docks it just became perfectly clear to me, alone out there with the watter everywhere and the birds and otters and seals, that Giggs was EVERYWHERE, part of all the animals and birds and rocks and water AND ME. That sense of Giggs everywhere stayed with me for weeks. It took me from “We Are One” the bumper sticker to We ARE One!

Do you have any experiences with animals that have brought you to that unmistakable sense of oneness? Please email (you can just hit reply here) your story if you would like to share it. I would love to include your stories in my new book.
