“But whatever do you find to do here?” they had asked in unison.
When you are accustomed to riding in spaceships and looking at earth from afar, often, the everyday things seem rather mundane. Their voices seemed on the verge of being a bit disappointed.
They continued.
“We travel among the stars and the moon is before us, bright and beautiful. We see an endless sea that is painted black that our starship surfs on. Is there anything as exciting here?”
Their newfound friends surrounded them and had listened intently to their stories of exploration. At first they felt small, sure that what they had to offer paled in comparison. Inadequate…that was the feeling.
But the puppy with contrasting colors of black and cream saw in a different light. He cleared his throat.
“We too, see those same stars and moon. For us, they are like a blanket that comforts us in the night. They appear without fail and ‘though they may be far away, we still see them. And we have streams with moving waters that ducks can splash in and there are benches to sit on to watch leaves moving in trees, because there are breezes that whisper there. And when there are no winds, there is still movement, because squirrels play among them. There are buildings that hold art and museums that contain history of where we’ve been and how we got to where we are now. There are places ready to serve you fresh food. Not food from a pouch. And lastly, and most importantly, see all of them?” And with a sweep of his paw indicated those who had remained quiet.. “My friends are here. There are differences, yes. But I think if I were able to trade places and walk among the stars, I would t. I would choose here. Over and over again.
