‘Mickey….! Look at those fish…! How could they ever…? What…? Mickey, did you see that…?’ ‘Ben…that’s what salmon do…They attack rapids from the bottom up…!’ ‘But, so difficult…? And then those big brown bears…just waiting…?’ ‘Ben…? You of all dogs should know better…’
‘Mickey…? Me…? Of all dogs…?’ ‘Yes Ben, it’s about being true to your nature…your nature as a dog…your nature as a fish…your nature as a human… And just like the salmon…when you die…you sigh…you blow out your last breath…and with a smile and a last heart beat…you say…Mission…Accomplished…!’ ‘Ooohhh Mickey…passion, passion…!!’
‘Mickey…it’s about the sweet spot…isn’t it…? It’s about accepting your disappointments in others…it’s about accepting that others may not have the same intentions you have…it’s about accepting your responsibility to be in the right place at the right time, regardless of how many other humans want to derail you…It’s about that place that you agreed to be in…to deliver your gift to Earth…’ ‘Oooohhh Ben…passion, passion…!!’
‘Ben…who are the bears in your life…?’ ‘No Mickey, it’s not, who are the bears in my life…rather, am I a bear in someone else’s life…?’
