Yesterday at dusk I was driving past the lake and looked up to see a blinding white cloud, it must have been right in front of the sun. It looked mystical, amazing. I caught a guy looking at it as well. I felt connected to the cloud, the Universe, and to the guy.
When I drove further along, I realised that the guy was actually watching his dog take the biggest crap on the ground. The whole time the guy had been yammering away on his phone. He turned and walked his dog away, leaving the poo glistening in the light, in those precious moments before the sun goes down.
you should have kicked his arse for not picking up the poop
ReplyDeleteI know! I wanted to shout out of my car window but he was too far away.
ReplyDeletePoo litterbug.
i gotta think the poo was compost. his cell phone? a big ol fat mark in our carbon footprint!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the same as Danielle. Perhaps using the car horn in a situation like that?
ReplyDeleteShared inhumanity?!
ReplyDeleteBug bear - dog poo dodging thanks to human indecency.
Beautiful pic.
:-)
Shared humanity indeed... x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giggle...and he should have his ass kicked for not cleaning up.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love it how you think life is all lovey dovey, and then a biit of dog crap just brings you down to reality. At least you did not stand in it! I like this post.
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks for the laugh! I think that the whole 'feeling connected' thing is a state of mind, anyway.

glistening dog poo...connecting the world together...love it
ReplyDelete:-) Great connections. You saw the Great Spirit, and were grounded at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAt this point in my life, I have so little faith in my fellow man that I am pleasantly surprised when I see people picking up after their dogs. I'd want to pick up the poop, follow the guy home, and deposit it on the hood of his car. Also, why does everything in your life come back to poo? Even a transcendental moment. Is that like your talisman or spirit guide?
ReplyDeleteAwesome post!
ReplyDeleteI am sure there is something deep and meaningful in that ... maybe that some people can't (or choose not to see the beauty in the world) and like to leave their crap around ...
Kind of funny, in a sad way, that where someone sees beauty, someone else is gets to stand with crap.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd rather see the clouds and the universe than the poo... if that even makes sense.
Kinda destroys a one fine day upon discovery of the poo.
