rainbow bridge blues

Close friends in another breed just lost a beloved and venerated old dog. Coming on the heels of losing Sepalluna, feeling their loss somehow seemed to stir up all the emotional turbidity again, this time with memories of Surgut, Nyura, Hurley, Sepalleopard, Sprite, Kidron, Zirconia, Xpace and others all the way back to Ditko of Seppala in 1971. It has held on for several days now, a bad case of the Rainbow Bridge Blues for sure. There's nothing for it but to acknowledge that I'm being told it's time to build a memorial web page for all these little Seppala spirits. I guess BooBoo-Ji's telling me that she wants them to have some recognition, too.

I didn't need yet another project when I'm already juggling so many projects at one time, but so be it. There's no point in resisting this. Gangaji says that, rather than either denying or indulging in our emotions, the best path is simply to experience fully whatever is happening, standing fast without either rushing to meet it or fleeing from it.

So I've got the Rainbow Bridge Blues and I'm building a web page to help myself deal with them. Well, there are worse things I could do with my time.
