The other day I was sitting in the woods watching birds, and when I got up to leave, I called to Penny to come with me. It wasn’t that I forgot she was gone, but that I could feel her there with me. It was as if she was laying down in the leaves a few yards away and I instinctively turned to the spot to call for her, and I swear the pressure changed, the air swirled, time stopped and for a second she and I were somewhere else together before I came back to reality.
