finding gratitude through grieving

[aethyrflux]

Bless their little hearts, our pets constantly re-teach us the pain lessons of letting go of those we love... hopefully reminding us to cherish our loved ones every moment as if it were our first and possibly last

Of the story, "Human Is" Phil Dick had this to say:

To me, this story states my early conclusions as to what is human. I have not really changed my view since I wrote this story, back in the Fifties. It's not what you look like, or what planet you were born on. It's how kind you are. The quality of kindness, to me, distinguishes us from rocks and sticks and metal, and will forever, whatever shape we take, wherever we go, whatever we become. For me, "Human Is" is my credo. May it be yours. {Levack 99}
