Soul Meets Body

I went to the Park this morning for a *Woods Work-out* I wore my barefoots, did some trunk walking, fast hills,  a bit of running,  push-ups, arm-raises and hiking.  I felt like a million bucks.   I got into the car this song came on the radio.  How very perfect for that moment.  I realized that while I'm out in the woods.....that's exactly what happens to me, My Soul Meets Body! 

"Soul Meets Body" By Death Cab For Cutie

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new

Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here

And I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain

And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body

And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

It's extremely hot and humid here in the east coast.  Today it's expected to be 97 with a heat index of 105, unheard of for this part of the country.  

More on my dog.  The other night I slept on my LR floor near my son who had surgery earlier in the day.  I put Monty's bed next to me, and both of us fell asleep.  A little while later I was dreaming that someone had driven up to the front of the house and was getting out of their car, I woke thinking...I better stop Monty from barking so he doesn't wake my son.  Well....Monty was already getting up to bark at the window.  No one was there, it was a dream.  Is it possible that dogs are so in-tune to us they know what's going on in our heads?    It was a bizarre moment that I can't stop thinking about.  Very strange how my friends behavior is doing a 190 degree change as I'm changing how I look and think about him.  He's actually smiling.  Something else I thought about this morning, how would I feel if the person I loved most, thought about their last love and planned their next love for after I'm gone? I can't imagine that Monty doesn't pick up on that.  I'm totally ashamed of myself, and promise him that will never happen again. 

He's my friend, my partner, my defender, my dog. I am his life, his love, his leader. He will be mine, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. I owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
