“I define connection as the energy that exists between
people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive
without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the
relationship.”
Brené

Finn loves connection
He lives for connection
For a pet, a pat
For that eye to eye contact that only dogs can offer
For a nuzzle
A paw placed in a lap
All he knows in those moments is love
All he gives is love
And his day is made and his heart is calm
After a “ball” walk with dad
Or a romp in the snow
He will rarely leave the porch alone
The world is only truly fun when it is share
Ah that we humans might learn a lesson or two hear
About touch
About eye to eye contact
And unreserved value and respect
Ah that we might figure out in the giving and receiving of
love
A life is to be found
Who in your life opens you up to the Sacred
Who reminds you that the sun rises and sets
Who helps you see the world with eyes of wonder?
It might be a lover
A parent
A child
Or even friend
It might be your dog
(or horse, or cat, or….)
Take a moment
Look them in the eye
And say “thanks”
