A Dog Named “Pepper” – My Youth Companion

My Pets and their soul-prints upon me.

Among my most treasured childhood memories was my first dog – a black cocker spaniel named “Pepper.” I had Pepper from the time I was about 7 years old until my early twenties. I remember the joy I had with Pepper in a small red wagon I had where we would ride together down a long hill sidewalk. My images of those rides are forever. My walks, playing ball, hugging, the knowing Pepper was a part of my youth was constant evidence of pure love around me.

Pepper endured momentous changes. We moved from a beautiful yard where she had a doghouse built to match our own and great freedom. When I was 16, we moved from Colorado to California and a whole new existence began for both of us.

Pepper adapted to every change and there were 7 moves in 6 years. My mother divorced my stepfather and soon after my sister and her four daughters moved to California after she divorced her husband. Pepper was my rock – my beloved friend.
She brought love to us all. My late teens and into my mid-twenties were about being there always for my mom, sister, and nieces. Pepper made her paw print upon us all. My nieces were very annoyed, however, whenever at the dinner table one of them would ask – “Pass the pepper” and I would get Pepper and carry her to the table.
I couldn’t get away with it often, but it was such fun.

What Matters – Our Love Is Forever

The deepest paw print from Pepper, no matter how immense the changes, what mattered – we were together. Pepper was a soul companion through my youth. Her aging began to bring her great pain and struggle. I came home from work one day and my sister and mother sat me down to let me know they had taken Pepper to the veterinarian to send her to her eternal home. They felt it would be too much for me. But I would have been grateful to be the one to hold her in that transition. There were times when I knew I could have been a better Master through all those changes, yet for Pepper, it was only that I was in the picture. I will forever remember our being together in that red wagon – joyfully going down that hill. My nieces also had a red wagon that they pulled Pepper in!

Please take a moment – place your hand on your heart – and honor the Transcendental Love your pets have brought you. It is forever. Change to unconditional love.

The Seeds of Transcendent Love

There is nothing more precious than the birth of a child. That original innocence is sacred to behold. No one is “born into sin.” We are here for good purpose for the blessing of all humanity through how we have lived together. The seeds of Transcendent Love are within every new birth.

Heaven and Hell

The word heaven is from the Greek word – Ouranos – and references expansion. It references looking to the sky. Open minds enable us to see things from a higher view – “look to the sky.”

One of the root words of Hell – “Helan” – refers to covering up – and being unable to see light or Truth. We’ve done an impressive job of hell on earth with our beliefs in separation through race, cultures, governments, and religions that keep us apart and warring. What a revelation if we did realize we are all One from the same star stuff. How might that expand our views? We can come to treasure diversity as Mother Nature reveals to us the wonder of it.

We have seen evidence of heaven on earth through what we can achieve as we honor the inherent gifts of art, writing, creativity, and the multi-talents that dwell within us. The Mystics have shared what we can achieve in realizing compassion, love, and regard for one another.

Humanity (to this point) has loved to segregate, disenfranchise, label, and condemn those who aren’t “normal” as to how various views of how God created us to be. I don’t believe God created me to be “normal.”

A Personal Reflection of God

My belief of God: The originating Principle of Life. The galaxies evidence that it contains energy; intelligence, is life producing and ongoing creativity. It is also clear that our thoughts have power. They are a part of that creative impulse. The energy around thoughts of love and hate are tangible and impact all life. We do create heaven or hell on earth and understanding that Truth we can realize – only all of us together can see a new expanding vision of our world where we do treasure every sacred newborn for good purpose and planting seeds for Transcendent Love for all of us.

I choose to keep expanding my vision of the wonder of life and the potential within all to awaken to the joy of their own being. What a world we can create for future generations to awaken to. The only thing love is meant to be about is compassion, enlightenment, and transformation as we are all free to explore our uniqueness and the gift, we are here to bring to one another. The seeds of Transcendent Love exist in every new birth – and how we nurture that new being is a sacred charge as parents and as a society.
