Why most relationships in life (love, friendship, work, parental, neighborly, consumer, etc) are complicated and fraught with miscommunication and misunderstandings. Could it be the expectation thing? Maybe. I don't appreciate being expected to..... fill in the blank. Can't I just BE.
Have I mentioned that I love my dog? She doesn't expect. Together we just are. Since I stopped expecting her to behave a certain way and stopped disciplining her when she wasn't ...amazingly she has blossomed into a better companion than I had even first hoped. Out from the expectation of who I thought she should be, she became who she is.... which is remarkable.
As my teacher, I bask in her guidance. She is the trainer and I am her oft disobedient pupil. I struggle with the lessons. She is a smart one... with a wise ass grin and one hell of a wiggle.
