“So powerful is human will once fully aligned to inner power and soul purpose, that the body and material living comes under the sovereign management of one’s true being: an infinite soul experiencing time and space naturally, birth and death as the natural rhythms of life. Soul will focus on experiencing physical life in harmony with the organic nature of physical evolution: being a child, being a young adult, being middle-aged, being old. Yet always being a spiritual soul experiencing life cycles for the purpose of becoming enlightened or a complete being in tune with divine mind or the creative source of life. When one connects with inner power and one’s soul identity, whatever physical body or circumstance we experience becomes fodder for our garden of beautiful colour, music, and the beautiful feeling of love, passion, and divine purpose.”

“So, putting aside the yucky ones, the positive smells of a dog for me are the next-day cold-stew smell of his meaty food, and the aroma of a roasted chicken right out of the oven, which will have him running to the kitchen like a rocket. The dry seed and hay hum of a pet shop, and the sickly rotting meat of his treats.
Grassy fresh air and mud on long winter walks. The rubbery tang of the toys he likes to brutalize. The worn-in leather of his collar and lead. The sweet, musty smell of his velvety ears, which I love to stroke, and yes, I admit it, I kiss them.
My scents for a dog are (a bit of a challenge in all honesty, but it's fun to stretch yourself sometimes!):
Barbour For Him by Barbour
Grass by The Library of Fragrance
Dirt by The Library of Fragrance
Cuir de Russie by Chanel
Piper Leather by Illuminum

Traffic was solid, as expected. When we moved, we crawled. Eventually the bus reached somewhere that seemed significant – at least, somewhere a lot of people were getting off – and, sure enough, I was in the city, and there were taxis. The wrong side of the city, as it transpired, so a long taxi ride ensued. Nearly four hours from leaving the factory to reaching the hotel. I wasn’t doing that again.”
