I sat on the porch just a few minutes ago watching my crits eat. As always, from the time that Goliath and Tamar started eating kibble, their Father Maxx, has left them a portion of his food to eat. When they were little puppies I thought it was cute. The pups just turned two years old on July third, and Maxx still leaves them a portion of his food. He won't let the Mother eat it. He only lets the pups, that are not pups anymore, eat it.
By now he should know they don't need it, but he does it anyway. It made me think that maybe he is just trying to be a better Father, a better pack leader. Watching him today made me think. We believe as humans we are better and smarter than all the other lifeforms on our planet, but we don't always make that true. Especially when we go through our lives just functioning, and without purpose. When we live without purpose there is little meaning or joy in our lives.
Maxx is a dog, but he has always put those little pups first. He still lets them beat him up and he still feeds them. Watching him, makes me feel like I could do better at being me. I think we all can learn from the beauty around us. I think we can learn from kindness and compassion. I think we can be better. Especially at times like today, when we need better.
