Let yourself be silently drawn
by the stronger pull of what you really love. — Rumi
This picture reminds me of the way we should, perhaps, live our lives: with joy, mouth open, eyes full of expectation.
Diving into the unknown and expecting wonder.

Seeing a dog swim or chase a stick into the water is a truly delightful sight. There is something graceful, but also gunho about their swimming strokes.

Wonderful – and even better when they come out and shake all over you or simply brush past. By the end the humans are as wet as the dog/s (almost)

Oh most definately! Mind – you certainly did when you left the UK to embark on your adventure! Hats off to you! I moved away from home to teach in Nottingham for 10 years – returning here to Yorkshire when dad died – met my husband and here we still are!
Having dogs I loved this picture!

Looking at the photograph, it is quite easy to get the impression that the water is made of glass and that the front paws are just touching said glass, giving the poor dog a nasty surprise. Not to be a pessimist, because I’m not, but those are also part of life. The nasty surprises, I mean.
All the best,
Bellis

Wonderful picture……and to your comment on how we ought to approach life….all I could think of, seeing the picture, was how cold the water looked (so much for my approach to life)

Yep, we must always dive in and not waste time worrying or being feeble. Strike out strike out – or jump in jump in as Oscar might say.

There is a Chinese story:
Dog steals a bone from the butcher,
At the bridge, he sees his own reflection which he mistakes to be a rival dog, He snarls at the rival and drops the bone.
He loses the bone.
You have provided the photo for this story.
