“Setters,” he was saying, “are usually supposed to be the keenest and pointers the strongest, but in my opinion it all depends on the partic’lar dog. Nowadays I hear a good deal about the pointer bein’ the best dog, and I’ve owned some good ones myself. There’s nothing prettier than strong, wiry pointer doublin’ and turnin’ in the brush and freezin’ to a steady point. But for my own part, give me a well-bred Llewellyn setter; they’re the humanist dog they is. They’ve got the bird sense, too. Oh, you can’t beat ‘em.”

Under present hunting conditions I would train my young dog to follow a trail until the bird was found and flushed. Just so long as he was following scent I would stay with him and give him my moral support, and we would find that bird if it took the rest of the day to do it. I would teach him by example that finding birds was his job and that I would stay with him from soup to nuts.”

It is easy to think about synchronicity intellectually, but unless you enter the state of mind where your prayer-field will help, all you will do is glimpse the coincidences every once in a while. In some situations that is enough and you will be led forward for a time, but eventually you will lose your direction. The only way to establish a constant flow of synchronicity is to stay in a state where your prayer field keeps this flow moving toward you--a state of conscious alertness.”

Show some respect.
Visit the shrines.
Never give up.
Never give in.
Never leave early.
Neither a front-runner not a Johnny-come-lately be.
Accept no substitutes.
Wait until next year.

“Setting boundaries is easy...
Holding boundaries is what's hard.
But then, over time, something miraculous happens.
You set the boundary, you do what you need to do,
and you immediately feel lighter, freer, less burdened--
not every time, not with every person--
but with some people every time--
and with every person sometimes--
and a new habit forms
of doing it in a way that works better for you
and not making yourself suffer for that.
I love feeling that I've made a good decision
for myself,
for the situation,
for the long-range outcome.”
