This past week marks one-year since my father’s passing. I think about him often and I miss and love him.

With the passing of our Sphynx in 2020, my heart was wrecked. This deep devastation and sorrowful state would pave the way for my ego to surrender itself to God. At fifty-five, I could no longer carry the pain and suffering of a life built on sands of misplaced faith. In my sheepish service to the status quo and its stuff, I lost my soul.

I like dogs and I have many friends who love their dogs. But it was a feline, not a canine, that God would use to soften my hardened heart. A life wandering in darkness; a life without Love.
