The sea, the sea, the sea.

It rolls and rolls and calls to me.

detail with dog

… I absolutely believe,    when my yard dog barks at night,    and I can hear the dog at the next farm also bark,    that the next dog's bark is answered by one farther up the line,    and so on until    the bark travels all around the world.
That is why, after relaxing into the quiet of the night,    my rest is again disturbed by my dog barking.    The bark has come all the way around,    as has the night.

the dog at the gate

The Divine Old Dog is restless tonight    she circles and circles    she licks at her paws    she does not hear her name
is confused and uncertain    she is abashed at her accidents    she tried to say but could not.
Are you at the gate great creature?    are you proud, old girl tired of    this cold winter day
these human needs and dramas    this winter world    does the cold make your legs ache?
Divine Old Dogs accept    the ways of the world    the nature of life
they come when they choose    leave when they are ready    they have all sorts of ways to tell us    when it is time
and they always decide    never us.

Excerpt from the poem 'Divine Old Dog at the Gate' Jon Katz at Bedlam Farm
