Cicero is an eight yr old Great Dane living in Ct with his human Vicki, and several cats. Cicero was grieving the loss of a very close friend of his named Max. Max was an elderly male feline that died of cancer a few weeks before our conversation. His story will be highlighted at a later date. I spoke with Vicki because she was concerned that Cicero was wanting to die to be with Max. Vicki would honor his wish if he chose it from a place of conscious knowing.

This Great Dane lost a very good friend when he lost Max. Cicero admired how Max handled living with cancer cells in his body. How he knew who he was and always treated him with respect and encouragement.

Max came and spoke to Cicero. Max began by telling Cicero that he would love to be with him “It is not your time yet Cicero, it was mine.” “ I am in transition here in spirit and am releasing vibrations I experienced and chose on earth. I am very busy right now.” Max went on to tell Cicero he had came as a guardian for Vicki. He knew when he died Vicki was ready for the personal growth that was coming into her life. “ I can no longer live that role” Max said “Vicki is ready to do it herself. You are right on the mark in what you are doing in your life as well. I didn’t need to be your guardian. Your heart has always done that for you.”

Max went on to explain to Cicero that this was his time in the role he was in as senior animal preparing to leave his body. “I can’t make decisions for you Cicero. If you quiet yourself and listen in your heart, you will know I am there. I will never leave you. You have much love in your heart to share with the Vicki and the other cats. They too would like to share with you. Cicero it is your time to recognize those places only you are there for Vicki, and her, for you. Cicero your job is not over because I left.”

Vicki and I asked Cicero what he was feeling. “ I feel things in my body now that will not be held at bay forever. I know Max wants me to learn by his journey. I know I could not hear Max because I was feeling the pain of his loss. I don’t know how to change it. I feel fear about all the changes that have gone on.” Max went on to tell Cicero “If you choose to leave conscious to what you are feeling and with an open spirit and heart, it will be a much different experience than if you leave in pain and silence, unconscious in your heart.”

Vicki sensed that Cicero was grieving and wanted him to hear that Max is not gone from his heart. Whatever happens in the days he has, he can choose what he feels. He can enjoy all the moments consciously or not. Max will meet him when he dies. He promised him that. Max made it clear it wasn’t Cicero’s time yet, unless he wanted it to be. This canine and this feline have deep mutual respect for each other. Cicero is feeling fear about his time coming near, he doesn’t fear dying, but does not want to feel separation from Vicki to be with Max. The wisdom that Max gave him was “Don’t give your days away any faster. It is only a matter of time. Celebrate the time you have. Wake up and smell the roses while you are here. It is only a perspective in thought that we are separated from each other. You will know that here when it is your time to come”

In ending our conversation it was clear that Cicero would think about Max’s words to him. The love that surrounds him and is in him began to be felt and seen again. Cicero had taken his friends advise, he would live LIFE day by day.

Well it is time for me to go work with the new theme for the tele-series site. If you hear any rumblings coming from the West it might just be me.

Will the real Photo Friday please come forward.  It wasn’t until late yesterday I realized it wasn’t Friday but Thursday. I will offer no excuse, I have none. 

Also in attempting to get today’s Photo Friday to appear on the blog I have run across a few snafoos. I am very persistent in learning how to do what I would like to do. I will learn this too.  Enjoy the pics from this mornings early morning walk with my dogs.

I have high hopes this theme will be the one that works. The outlay of the other fit me and my love of pictures but this is not a photographers site. I thank you for hanging in there while I navigate life.  The layout is not complete and as soon as I learn how to use this program there will be pictures as well.

My mind told me I had made a mistake or that others would perceive it that way. When we learn to begin to feel in our hearts again, the whole range of emotions comes up, not just neat and tidy or black and white ones. I am learning to just be with the range of emotions that come for my recognition. Kicking and screaming when it is something that I feel vulnerable from.

It’s a good thing I don’t have close neighbors. Between chicken checking, kicking and screaming, or sitting in a big old heap sometimes, it might be a bit odd behavior even for Montana.
