Q: How do you see the illusion from the illusion? A: you don’t. You only see the illusion. Truth can’t be seen, or known, or felt, or understood, or wanted, or discarded. So if you know it, see it, feel it, understand it, or want it, that’s not truth. Discard that. What’s left is truth. Stay there.

This boy has bladder cancer. Like his brother before him he will die of it. I am so sad about this reality that I am in denial. I pretend that it’s not true, but I know it is. He is such a good boy. He is so gentle ad loving. I will remember him forever.

This boy is sick. Took him to the vet and they wanted me to leave him for the day so they could get a urine sample. I spent the whole day in existential dread of what might be wrong. Thankfully it’s a UTI. Two weeks of antibiotics and he should be good as new.

a stray cat often comes to our screen door and hisses at Sandal. but she's not mean: she's scared. she's had a tough life and Sandal is big. but yesterday, Sandal saw through it. he ignored the hissing. he sat there until they were friends. this orange boy will save the world.
