Being A Flexible Thinker

I suppose if I slowed down my thoughts, I would see a cohesive thread of connection to events in my life. It is often only when something "different" flows through my brain that I take notice. For example, as I watched a TV commercial where a woman was holding a small shaggy dog, in my head I heard "I want to rescue a dog." This is a crazy thought! I do not have a desire for another dog. Nevertheless, I allowed the thought to flow through me as I watched it, amused, but not taking it seriously. A couple of days later when I was feeding my horses, instead of their usual behavior of gathering near their bowls, all four were huddled together in the opposite direction. I thought it strange. As I approached the small shed where I keep their food, I saw movement coming out of the shadows behind the shed, and then a "woof". The dog continued to bark at me as I approached the shed. I spoke to him kindly and then ignored him, entered the shed and started filling horse bowls with food. When he heard the sound of food dropping into bowls, his demeanor changed. I fed him a rice bran topping I give my horses. He gobbled it up. The next morning he was still hanging out behind the shed. I fed him dog food this time. I posted on two social media sites. By 5:00 PM he was reunited with his family. He had gotten out of his yard in Spreckles on the Fourth of July. Most likely afraid of the fireworks. If nothing else, the spiritual journey keeps our minds flexible. While I thought rescuing a dog meant I would be keeping it, instead it meant rejoining a dog with his family. For me this is a good reminder when I receive a message, whether it be from a book, a friend, or my guides and angels, to be open to different ways it may manifest- could be in a humorous way, from a person I would least expect, or even literal. I feel one of my main lessons right now is breaking down my personal constructs, paradigms, and opinions. The event of "rescuing" Jacob the dog is another gentle reminder.
