The path was swimming in rain, but the grass, trees and flowers seemed content to float along in the early morning laziness. If it is possible for plants to have an “old soul,” these did; boasting a familiarity that indicated they’d remained in the same place since the time native peoples and animals first carved the crisscrossing traces that mark the land. Jennifer Harris is a journalist and seminary student in Missouri.

I've heard buddhists talk about the "beginner's mind" and the "monkey mind," but I've often wished for the "golden retriever's mind."

Dogs could definitely speak if they chose.

I grabbed my jacket, tossed a notebook in my backpack and headed out the door. It was my first contemplative retreat, and I was staying at Mystic Trace, the middle-of-nowhere, Missouri home of my friends Tom and Kathryn.
