Barking at the Moon

Barking at the Moon

A dog barking. Just for the sheer pleasure. The joy. Does he like his own voice or does he just get carried away. How long can it go on & on & on... The bark can stay a bark or it can then gravitate to a howl. Even a broken howl. A barking at the moon kind of song, in fact. Do you think the bark has connected him to a primitive brain wave that calls to him and sends him into a reverie. A subconscious connection that delights him and carries him away into a world of his own sounds. 

And what about us? Wouldn’t we like to go into some blank space sometimes where we can just delight in the nothingness. The void. A rest of sorts. Without sound & yet listening. But for us, we know we’re never alone. For a dog, he has his everyday pleasures and being lost in barking at the moon may be one of them for him. 

For us, a soundless place would be divine. Yes, actually. Soundless, yet filled with all the hope, love and joy that will make your day a thing beyond. An act of solitude that will fill us with a vision of all the possibilities a day may hold. A simple event in your day that will turn you around from introspection to what awaits you next. And you know that you’re walking in a plan for your life made for you before time began. You come out of your special soundless place assured that all your days are ordered and you just have to ‘be.’
