Sometimes, there is this special bond between a human and a dog, a connection beyond words or consciousness, a place of love yes, but more than that, a place of being known. Rose and I are connected to one another, in a way that even a writer can’t quite describe. I do love her, but it isn’t really about that, it’s about the experiences we have shared, the way in which we know each other. I love walking with her in the afternoons. We share the same space with great comfort and peace.

I have found my video camera. After weeks of trying, experimenting, returning, selling and trading I really like this Panasonic. Another thing to plug in, keep a cap on, figure out. But it works for me. It’s a small thing, not very expensive, encased in plastic. It just works. I love the way I intuitively know how to use it, and it seems light and shadow the way I do. I’m taking it to Saratoga to learn more. I couldn’t resist catching a brief glimpse with the video of our walk.
