Dog Walker
I always find that when I take longer walks with my dogs in the morning and evening that it becomes almost meditative exercise for me. A time that I can work out things in my mind that are going on in my life. I have two dogs, and I can tell you that they are always in favor of longer walks or going to an open place that they can run around. When I am on these longer walks, usually 25-45 minutes, it turns out to be a time that I can work out a problem I’m having in my life or help me to refocus myself, put together a plan for the day, or work out a decision I need to make whether it’s something in my personal life or in my professional life. I find these longer walks are especially helpful if I am upset about something or having difficulty with one of the people in my life that I am close with.

No Good Deed
Two wolves crouched snarling at each other beside the campfire. One wolf inky black and eyes icy blue, the other white as a fresh snow and amber eyes that betrayed a fiery rage. Their attention turned to Roman standing on the other side of the campfire, and then swept past him. He followed their gaze and saw a glowing trail of smoke growing from the woods. Roman found himself stumbling, running toward the glowing light. The house. The house was burning. He sprinted through the darkness leaping over stones and roots that seemed to grab at his feet as he ran. Finally he broke through the wall of the trees into the clearing where the house was an inferno. A scream of rage and frustration erupted from Roman’s lips. Out of the plume of smoke a raven dove at Roman. It began to grow in size as it closed the distance until it was the side of one of the 40 foot pines. The black eyes of the raven fixed on Roman. With a gust that forced Roman to his knees the wings of the raven encased him and the world was darkness.
