…While many are possible, even available, for you, for me, for us, Chico might be one less fraught with dangers. \u00a0The paths are scattered around us, like emerald pebbles on a rocky beach, cloaked in gray mystery and essentially invisible. \u00a0The realization of the path, your path, might be found in the love of someone other than a person. \u00a0 We all think we “need someone to love,” and it might be so. \u00a0The love you can give to, and get from, your Chico might be the highest.<\/p>\n

The Road less traveled, the Path not taken, the Door not opened, the Chance ignored…. our lives can be littered with the flotsam and jetsam of missed, ignored, invisible opportunities. \u00a0Awaken!<\/p>\n

In a Chico-like relationship, perhaps it’s the simplicity, and directness, the lack of interest in the root of all kinds of evil (fame, power, riches, and others’ admiration) that’s so unusual, and so (eventually) compelling. \u00a0Until you begin to pray with a dog, your dog, your Chico, key pieces of the Puzzle of the Door will be invisible; prayer elucidates and realizes them.<\/p>\n

Chico, your Chico, is an entire magnificently assembled puzzle, the Universe’s perfect answer to the perfect solution of life, the Universe, and…everything. \u00a0Find your Chico, seek Him, and He will find you. \u00a0He’s waiting for you. \u00a0When the student is ready, the Master will appear. \u00a0If you seek him, you are ready for him. \u00a0Is the seeking blossoming in your yearning soul? Then look! Look for him. \u00a0Look at the shelters, in the newspapers, on Craigslist, in Next Door. \u00a0He’s there if you are looking. \u00a0Really it’s true.<\/p>\n

Here’s a musical exemplification of the Assembled Puzzle….Chico’s enduring chorale.<\/p>\n\n
