Just a short post about a moment in a dream.
I was watching the news during some huge, epic battle scene from an armageddon style scenario and a police marksman was there struggling to hold back his battle creature - like some great guard dog and horse rolled into one... and the rain was tearing down into everyone's faces. And in that moment of stillness the soldier took one of his hands, his other still cradling his assault rifle, and gently stroked the build up of rain and sleep out of the corner of his animal companion's eye. And despite all the noise and terror going on around there was just that moment - a small detail you could almost miss, yet it was the most significant feeling or sight to be absorbed in. The love between this soldier - a great, big, powerful man, purposely desensitised to his feelings - and his great, big, powerful friend - his dog - his horse - it doesn't matter which...
I woke up and thought "wow - there's an amazing job - being an animal handler in the police or army. What a sense of purpose and love and I think I'll write about it on my blog because I'm not about to change career, but I can at least write it down".
All you need is love / G_d
