[green dog]

Hello, I'm green dog. I've been reading here for some time and appreciate the intelligent insights and reasonable consideration given to all posts. I've been following Tao for a long time and in my later years am more inclined to quiet than thought, but find new aspects to discover all the time, so am looking forward to listening mostly, contributing if I have something to contribute.

You old (green) dogs can teach us new tricks. Don't hesitate to post or jump into a conversation.

hello green dog.

 

I'm a green cat! sometimes I'm pink though. I also tend toward quiet. Except when I am joking and making the fun.

 

or sharing informazione.

 

welcome and wagginess of tail.

Thanks for your welcomes. Green dog was a designation given me in a Chinese astrology reading (my only incursion into the realm of Chinese astrology), I have no idea why but I accept it, it seems a friendly and not ostentatious title. My own dog is my Teacher, eats when hungry, sleeps when tired, is always interested in everything, completely present at all times, responsive and loving, strong and intelligent, dignified, playful when the opportunity comes along, fierce when necessary, delights in everything, knows how to be perfectly still. I have a long way to go to such mastery of Life...maybe that's why the green dog designation; still green.

I refuse to answer on the grounds I may incriminate myself

[三江源]

discretion, then , comes first, for you , it seems, cloud recluse.

 

an excellent thing to come before ostentation. the perfect combo.

Cats & Dogs,some of my favourite critters

 

Green Dog,I envy you your Teacher. I havent had the opportunity to keep a hound for over 7 years now & I do miss them.My last one was a beautiful German Shepherd who died of contented old age.

Somebody somewhere,it might have been Robert Anton Wilson,said that humans learn from dogs the qualities of loyalty & openess.The downside was that dogs learn guilt & shame from humans .Funny in a morbid sort of way

 

Cats,on the other hand,are cool little units of glorious & psychopathic independence! Paws or claws,you never really know

 

Regards,Cloud.

Cloud Recluse, I understand. Mine is German Shepherd, 4 yrs. old. Before her, my German Shepherd friend, companion, teacher for 15 years before she merged with the Tao. I'm sorry you can't have that warm companionship now.
