MAGI ~

 

We’ve never had a dog which:

     Was a puppy.

     Sat on our laps.

     Liked to jump in the lake.

     Liked to play with other dogs.

     Liked – no, insisted – that she should stick her head out of the car window.

​

Very “dog” things. But that was all new to our household.

​

What she does have in common with her ancestors – Pumpkin, Reggie and Boomer - especially Boomer – is her travel-lust. Yeah, she got the Aries-Sagittarius blend, too.

​

After Boomer was laid to rest near the Peace Pole dedicated to him in the “Boomer Meditation Peace Park” at White Eagle Lodge in Montgomery, Texas - a place at the top of our world-traveling list of peaceful places – it was a couple years before Noel asked The Spirit of Boomer to send us “just the right companion.” Boomer delivered us a two-month-old puppy.

​

“A puppy!” Bob exclaimed in June 2021. “In the middle of us producing a World Unity Week 70-hour online broadcast?!?” – from our COVID-isolated new home in Tennessee. Why yes, what better time to have a puppy delivered to our front door by the shelter?

​

The theme of our WUW one-of-dozens, virtual “convergence room” was “Gifts of the Magi”, so “Maybelle” became “MAGI.” A two-month-old handful of brown fur, committed to pulling on everything with those razor-sharp baby teeth could grab – including the huge “green screen” sheet behind the Zoom broadcast. (Remember, they were still inventing the Zoom “backgrounds” in 2021.)

​

MAGI. All capital letters. Like BONO. Like CHER.

​

Bob’s “slow-start” of participation with MAGI (based on his claimed non-participation in the Noel/Boomer conspiracy), quickened, with the realization that this highly inconvenient life change was for purpose. Purpose for him being bringing in a Teacher of Living in The Present Moment / Teacher of Patience. The “classroom” quickly turned to unbounded J-O-Y for Noel AND Bob! The JOY (and, teaching) continues.

MAGI began, immediately upon arrival, forming her world-wide fan club. Now soul-family drive from as far as away as Chicago and New Orleans, just to spend 3 weeks at a time with her. Her INSISTANCE on a 3-mile walk by the lake, only substituted with a ball-fetching session, is a daily gift to the more-advanced-aged human bodies – and they are appreciative.

​

So…..thank you, Boomer. For the gift of The MAGI.
