I think I would have been 62 around 2011 when I wrote: Elohar: The girl in the Forest

Elohar: The girl in the Forest 

This started with the actual experience of meeting Elohar in the forest like I desribe in this 

Elohar: The girl in the Forest 

And I really did have my two dogs we had then. one was a Australian Shepard and Long hair German Shepard mix who was likely the smartest male dog I have ever met. Because shepard dogs of all mixes usually are the smartest of all dogs bred to herd goats and sheep and even cows for thousands of years now to keep the herds safe from predators.

Then we had a Corgi who was a Pembroke Welsh Corgi dog who was walking the trails through the forest near where I live. I live on the ocean but within one mile there is a forest of pine trees and REdwood Trees and oak Trees and Bracken Ferns and  manzanita bushes too. But, you don't go wandering off the trails mostly because there is a lot of poison oak in these forests too. So, being on the fire roads is the safest and some trails are safe from poison oak too. This time of year (February through May) especially you have to watch out the most for poison oak because if your dog gets into it and your wife or friends pet the dog they can get poison oak too. It's easier to spot during the summers or falls because the leaves turn red mostly so they stand out more and you can avoid it easier. Then in the late fall those red leaves all drop and then you don't want to be walking barefoot on top of them either even then.

So, when I said "Hi" to Elohar she was just walking through the forest and she was so beautiful and alone that it seemed unusual for her to be out there all alone like this. She seemed naive and very intelligent and beautiful and then I realized she was a reincarnation of my mother at some point too which is an amazing experience also.

MY mother was likely one of the most amazing people I ever met in my life. My father was like this too in a very different way.

She never had anything bad to say about anyone.

My father wasn't like this but also was valedictorian of his High School Class so always very brilliant and ahead of his time in all ways. he bccame a vegetarian at age 18 from doing research about how dangerous steer and other meats were in 1934 and was a vegetarian until he passed away in 1985 when I was 37 years old.

So, I have always missed my parents a lot because I was an only child and we were like the "Three Musketeers" all for one and one for all, which is something you can never replace in life.

By God's Grace
