some thoughts on the second gate

[SSilhouette]

A long time ago I had a wolf dog that I loved like a child. Someone poisoned her and I grieved as if I'd lost a child. Not long after she died I felt her body merging with mine, I clearly felt like wagging my tail and itching fleas. It was very foreign feeling. But I got the sensation that she would be with me for life, guarding my situations and acting as an ally.
