Wow! Right on the money Kirk. It appears you know just what I'm talking about. Lucky's a very dignified creature who has seen much. I have a lot of respect for folks who do animal rescue. Every pet I have had has seemed to find me thru some rescue outfit. Go figure......
Lots of synchronicity going on with that link you provided. I find it best to never ignore serendipity as my experiences with it are unfailingly positive and often constructively life changing. I drive thru the area they dwell regularly, most commonly in summer, on my way to the Mogollon Rim and the White Mountains when I need to cool off and work on my fly fishing sutras. It is an especially beautiful valley with about 5x the rainfall of the lower desert. Last time I stopped, it was to eat at Alice's Restaurant. Seriously. I have also, lately, felt an impulse to learn Mindfullness meditation and am set to receive my first instructions later in the month. I would feel privileged should my travels cross Kunzang and Lucky.
