Never imagined I could be so gripped by the continual journey/story of a man and his dog. And I’ve read a ton of Jack London!
It really puts into perspective how I’ve grown throughout my life, all the ways Nature has shown me the difference between living in illusions and living with pure presence. Thank you for that.
So, two more synchronicities between us this week:
1. I’m in the middle of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (first read through). Randomly picked it up last week. If that picture up there is recent then it looks like we’re riding the same wave.
2. My father passed away. He was a father, brother, widower, friend. It was a devastating passing for my family, but I felt something new bloom within him before his death.
I KNEW that he left without all the anger and fear he held his whole life. He spent two months of a semi-comatose state working through his victimhood, his struggle against what he believed was more powerful than him: elites, government, petty tyrants. I was with him somehow (energetically) the whole time and I felt the letting go, the surrender, his acceptance of death and somehow, an excitement of having gained what he was looking for all along.
Been walking a lot the last couple of weeks. My legs have been carrying me to unfamiliar places--there’s new energy to be felt in new places. It has been helpful for my mind/heart connection.
Your thoughtful comments always make me smile, Cody. I actually think about you a lot, and wonder how you are doing. You're my Philosophical Bash Brother :-P
Yeah, it's my first real read of the Hitchhikers Guide as an adult as well! What an amazing book. Adams writes some sentences that are sharp enough to cut you.
The connection you felt with your father, and the letting go, that's a powerful service you provided for him. You should be proud.
I feel like everyone "gets it" at some point in every life, even if everything only clicks into place moments before departure. And it helps tremendously when a person with Conscious Energy is around to help with the process of letting go of the body.
I stayed by my Grandmother's side when she died in 2019, and Tucker was by mine as her and I let go together. And then 2 weeks later was the day he checked out, so I had to immediately apply what I learned during her passing.
I did an intense amount of walking after they passed as well, and I found the same thing. Those days I'd walk 10 to 15 miles on a normal day, and one Friday after I bought some new boots, I decided to extend my walk to a marathon once I got to mile 15. I think I ended up walking over 27 miles total that day.
I feel walking gives the monkey mind something mundane to focus on so the real me can speak clearly through its veiled channel.
It’s beyond interesting to me that I somehow feel like I know you. It must be how well you reflect knowledge/experience in your writing and how open/sensitive I’ve become over the years from all my contemplations of oneness.
It makes me grin from ear to ear when I read something you wrote that validates my own hard-won sense of self. We are not alone!
Dogsat a wonderful pitbull named DeBone the last couple days. Thought of you and Juice - D just met me and showed me unbelievable amounts of love.
Receiving that love was a task though. I’ve become aware that I’ve been secretly closing off the receiving dock of my heart as I worked on “decluttering the central channel,” so to speak. It’s now time to begin opening it up with real intention.
My system is worried about being overwhelmed by an un-obstructed flow of love. Which is wonderful news. It means another opportunity to be in awe of the All while practicing surrender and faith!
Thanks for the thoughtful and kind words about my father’s passing. I’m grateful that I was able to connect with him and “see” the energy shift with his preparation for death.
Cheers to living good this weekend! Stay alive out there in the wilds!

Walk on, brother. Juice and I walk with you.
Happy to hear. And yes, PBB!!
