Happy Mother’s Day to all ya’ll mamas, stepmamas, godmamas, garden mamas, art mamas, sugar mamas, creature mamas, culture mamas, and any and every way you are mothering out there. We love you from our first Mother’s Day with this little magic being, Keleo. Look: Turns out he might even like the banjo 🤘🏽🪕Love, the most beautiful Mama, a superbly smitten Auntie, and boss baby K.

On World Mental Health Day, start the day with a poem from Mary Oliver. Wishing you the ability to find much joy today, and every day. ❤️

"Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift."

We are celebrating with none other than Mary Oliver's Dog Songs, and our furry friends. Thanks to Garcia Street Books for this lovey photo.

On Meditating, Sort Of, by Mary Oliver

Meditation, so I’ve heard, is best accomplished
if you entertain a certain strict posture.
Frankly, I prefer just to lounge under a tree.
So why should I think I could ever be successful?

Some days I fall asleep, or land in that
even better place — half asleep — where the world, spring, summer, autumn, winter —
flies through my mind in its hardy ascent and its uncompromising descent.

So I just lie like that, while distance and time
reveal their true attitudes: they never
heard of me, and never will, or ever need to.

Of course I wake up finally
thinking, how wonderful to be who I am,
made out of earth and water,
my own thoughts, my own fingerprints —
all that glorious, temporary stuff.

If you are looking to adopt a dog or just want to help support our furry friends in need, we have several rescue events lined up with our friends at Dogs Allowed Tampa Bay. Coming up Aug. 27th is the Summer Rescue Event. We will be hosting events monthly on Saturdays from 1-5pm. Save the dates for some fun holiday gatherings including the Halloween doggie costume party!

Art via• • “When you go out into the woods, and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree.

The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying ‘You are too this, or I’m too this.’ That judgment mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.” - Ram Dass
