“To sit with a dog on a hillside,
On a glorious afternoon,
Is to be back in Eden,
Where doing nothing,
Is not boring,
It is peace.”
Milan Kundera
Music: Seminole Wind
Little Rabbit was finally safe
And I had an urge to take a ride
Soon, I found myself inside my truck
And my loyal old Turbo, was at my side
My cattle dog hails from the Navajo Nation
He’s one of the smartest dogs I’ve ever had
He seems to somehow always read my mind
Traveling about together, makes us both glad
And soon, the two of us reached our destination
A most serene hillside, perched above a little lake
The day was glorious, with a refreshing fall breeze
Far below us, we saw a mallard duck and her drake
And soon, with the aid of my trusty pair of binoculars
I was able to watch an osprey, soaring high in the sky
After observing this bird of prey, fishing for her lunch
Old Turbo and I sprawled out in the grass, with a sigh
We woke from our pleasant little nap an hour later
And now, we traipsed through a wondrous meadow
Birds were singing gloriously, wildflowers all around
My soul was content here in this place, with old Turbo
As the sun eventually began waning in the western sky
My faithful old dog and I began our serene journey home
We were both greeted very warmly, by all our other critters
And I thanked God for this fabulous day, in which we roamed
“To sit with a dog on a hillside,
On a glorious afternoon,
Is to be back in Eden,
Where doing nothing,
Is not boring,
It is peace.”
