What a delightful tale David, thank you so much for sharing it with us. Sometimes I look at the people and animals in my life and wonder who we were to each other in previous lifetimes, an enjoyable pastime! Wishing you the happiest Christmas and a successful, joyous 2023 🎄
A really lovely story for Christmas, just having coffee after going for a walk with my dog. Perfect. And for me very appropriate as my dad died on 11th December and I am often overwhelmed with sadness but you reminded me to enjoy today and look to the future with hope. Merry Christmas David!
This gives my relationship with my four year old grandson such a new slant. He's an immensely empathic little boy with an old head on very young shoulders. I shall find even greater joy in watching him and listening to him.
Poinsettias are one of my favorites at Christmas. This story felt so familiar to me because a dear friend of mine lost her beloved French Bulldog several years ago. His name was Boomerang. She was inconsolable, so much so that she wanted him back and spent many months going to breeders looking for another dog exactly like him. In time she found Boomerang who was his twin in appearance and in his behavior towards her. I suggested she write about her experience, which she did, and her book entitled “Boomerang Returns” was published the next year. It was marketed as a children’s book. Reading it brought me to tears and it made my heart sing. Thank you for this lovely reminder.
Dearest fya . Every time I read your stories I am reminded of your creative power which I enjoy so much . Thank you for this one . I have this feeling of coming home .Much love . Eebs xxxx
Thank you David, I somehow knew where you were headed and a lovely way to reveal it. I hope we all realise the discovery of our loved ones in this manner but I fear it is too late for me.
A great story. Have a merry Christmas and your family. Looking firward to
more stories.
I finished Instant Karma and must recommend it to everyone. A wonderful mystical tale told with such brilliance that I enjoyed every second. I wish it could happen once just to make everyone resalise what Karma is all about. Your use of Buddhist information is phenomenal and brought the teachings to life. Ths you once again for entering my life. I can never thank you enough.
Many thanks for your very kind message, Peter. I am so very glad that you found Instant Karma both entertaining and helpful. We are all on this journey together.
Gorgeous David, you’ve made my day! Thank you so much for this wonderful story! It has left me with a happy smile inside and towards the world, a wonderful gift in this hard time. Happy Christmas and a happy new year!
These things are so often overlooked or branded as mere fanciful misinterpretation. But, when you start to look at Buddhism, things make far more sense. Undeniable truths are everywhere when we have our eyes opened. A great post, David, thank you. Heartwarming and encouraging too.
Love this short story that also brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much fir writing and sharing it David. Wishing you and family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 🙏💐🎁🐾
What a very beautiful story about undying love - a lovely gift for Christmas. Thank you, David. I also enjoyed your craftsmanship as a writer - the pacing and the finish were just terrific!
Whimsical and appealing. I only wish that it could all be true. Thanks again David. Saturday's emails have become something I really look forward to receiving. Also, I would like to wish you and your wife a happy festive season, good health and prosperity for 2023. Trish Vowles
That last line was perfect. Thanks!
So glad it resonated, Kat!

Dear David, I have two photographs of paintings of elephants I did about three years ago.
Would you like to see them? If so, which e-mail address should I use?
If so moved I could paint one for you too,
I am a painter in oils, usually landscapes but love elephants, thought I would give it a try. Trish Vowles
