Animal Spirit

I thought that I had achieved ultimate enlightenment and was ready to share the company of Sioux Medicine Men, Maharishis from India, and Tibetan Monks when I saw an animal spirit this afternoon.

I was on my way back to work from lunch when I very clearly saw a large dog hovering above the enter of the river.

I was ecstatic! My daily practices of Transcendental Meditation, Tai Chi, and Chi Kung were paying off.

Then I wondered - why did the river itself look so different?

With that one thought my euphoria left as quickly as it had come. The river was frozen from shore to shore - and there really was a dog standing in the center of the ice.
