Mastering the art of unselfconscious presence.
“Because of the dog’s joyfulness,” Mary Oliver wrote in her exquisite Dog Songs,“our own is increased. It is no small gift.”Dogs have inspired literature, been muses to art, and garnered the label of “genius.” But the true gift of Dog — the gentle and ineffable essence of dogness — remains precisely that capacity for unselfconscious joyfulness.
