Welcome, Luna. This isn’t just any lady with a Lap dog. She has you. The world is a bit brighter now!

I'm relieved to read this, after your last piece about being close to those raging fires, Marya. Loved your observation about your dinged-up heart and the duct tape and Gorilla Glue of humanity.

Once again,…

You are not truly alone.

And most likely, I am not alone in the comfort that you have a travel buddy.

Ride or write on sweet lady.

I get that people are angry and afraid, and probably a lot of them are in both physical and emotional pain, because hardly anybody knows how to deal with the lack of movement, and the non-existent community, and the voicelessness, flung together with no fresh food and no fresh air, all while their dreams evaporate. They don't want to put in the effort, or they can't afford to put in the effort, so they turn shitty because it's the only emotion that holds everything they're feeling. We're feeling. Even so, I don't get the shittiness. There are so many other ways to exist in the world. I'm glad you meet those folks, too.

Luna is nothing short of magical. Oh, the things she must hear! What a gift that you two found each other.

Welcome Luna (my daughter has a greyhound called Luna :)) and a big yes to the shittyness and incredibleness of the human species -- it's mind-boggling.

"I don't think a single day goes by when I don't think or write or say aloud both Why are people so shitty? and What would I do without these incredible people?" - SO relatable. So much of both, every single day. Also I love Luna!

I love this so much. And your new little partner, Luna. Chihuahuas are the best.
