On today’s cottage by the sea blog I wrote about a dog who yipped at me from a passing car while I was on my walk. I was startled, scared, and although I knew I was completely safe, I felt attacked. The feeling stayed with me all the way home and created enough energy for me to write about it on both blogs.
How do I pray about this? Is it even worth a prayer? For whom do I pray? For whom do I ask forgiveness? Myself? The dog? The driver of the car? Is this worth all the energy I’m putting into it?
After sitting in silence, I’m hearing, most clearly, to let it go. But why was I attacked? I’m also hearing that I may be startled again, maybe by the very same dog, in the very same car, on the very same road. Many none of the above will happen.
