Читать книгу Simple Pleasures - Robert Taylor - Страница 24

Whenever I take my golden retriever for a walk along the water-front, I take great pleasure in watching him being in his body, completely unrestrained in his dogginess. Everything he does he does with intensity, whether it's walking into the ocean and gazing into the water, or smelling tree trunks (checking his pee-mail), or coming across something foul and looking up at me as if to say, “this is so good I just have to roll in it,” or flopping down in total relaxation. It's satisfying to see him so happy in his environment, expressing himself so completely. We people are taught to hide what we feel, and we feel vulnerable if we show our pleasure too enthusiastically. Walking with Newheart is a constant reminder to me to keep striving to live life fully and not hold myself back.
