We hugged each other, I felt the warmth of her body, the radiant warmth that permeates her, the meandering air around her. I felt her every heartbeat, listened to her every breath, looked deep into her eyes and saw her thoughts. I smelled the present, the past and the future. She gently touched my face with her fine fur, as gently as a small autumn leaf falls into a spider's web. I hugged, smelled, felt and thought. We became one, we shared our heartbeat, our breathing, the blood in our veins, we shared our soul, every tiny part of us vibrated, we became one with the universe, we became everything.
I love my malamute girl.
