This photo journal of Faith (or Will Power) the dog made my heart smile and weep at the same time. Make sure to scroll down the page of the above link to see all the photos. NOTE: See comment on this post--this little dog's name is actually 'Faith'...
Here's just one photo from this montage...
Check the journal out--it's worth it.
I don't know the story behind Will Power's not having front legs, but I'm not sure it makes any difference.(Note the link below tells the story: Faith was born without front legs and was lovingly taught to walk by her family.)
"The point is to make intimate contact with the real world, the real self. Sacred refers to that which takes us out of our little selves into the whole mountains-and-rivers mandala universe...nature is not a place to visit, it is home."---Gary Snyder
Today, Faith, aka Will Power is my mandala-universe...

About Beth Patterson
The Virtual Tea House website became 'word-ripe' when, over a cup of jasmine green, I realized that the web has an expanding part to play in the communal aspects of spiritual growth.
With a master's degree in religion, my career spans 30 years in end of life care and child abuse intervention and advocacy.
Here in beautiful Central Oregon, my spiritual homes of the high desert and the mountains are both in proximity. And for good measure, four hours away is Grandmother Ocean and the stunning Oregon Coast.
I'm making decent progress on the goal set by my mother early on: she taught us that the goal of humanity should be to become ever-more eccentric, i.e. more fully human.
Entering the 'forest-dweller' phase of life, I am honored to host the Virtual Tea House for all who wish to explore how our lives are enriched and made new a thousand times each day by the spirituality we embody. Exploring this engagement together is the purpose of the Virtual Tea House.
Welcome! Let's have a cup of virtual tea together and share what brings us joy, what we are being taught by life, how we are leaning into the Big Questions posed to us each day in sometimes 'distressing disguises'.
