Belleza efímera, amor eterno

“Hank and Hara, the greatest blessings of my lifetime” – Outside Dave
@outsidedavid

Hank and Hara – together again. ❤️The greatest blessings of my lifetime – floating peacefully in the afterlife, until we meet again. I’ve never told the back story of these videos, though they are probably my most popular and personal favorites. Back in October of 2022, it had been my mission to catch every single sunset for two months from the kayak, with Hank and Hara. We were successful, and caught every one of the most amazing sunsets of my life in those months. It was an especially bad fire season, which made for amazing and unique sunsets. Just beyond the mountains in view was a wildfire spreading out of control in nearby North Cascades National Park. I’d had a terrible day at work that friday, and it was the closest i’d come to giving up on the sunset. It was hot, i’d made mistakes and I arrived home feeling down about myself, uninspired to do anything. Hank and Hara weren’t having it. They looked at me with such eagerness for adventure, there was no way I was depriving them of it. So, I packed up the jeep and left the islands, headed to our favorite lake to camp. We arrived just in time, and immediately set sail on the kayak. What awaited us was the single most beautiful, peaceful and serene moment of my entire life. Hank and Hara appreciated the beauty of that moment, just the same as me. I sat in awe, not only of the glorious fire-lit sunset, the calm water or the mountain views – but of the life we’d created together. In that moment, there was a culmination of love, peace and happiness that still drives me to this day. It was because of that moment on our favorite lake that I have so much belief in peace on earth. In true love and happiness. There wasn’t a word spoken out on that boat, but the energy said more than a lifetime of words could ever find the meaning for. In that moment, this world, this life and this love was the most glorious thing imaginable. I truly hope that each and every one of you, and your pets, have a moment so profound. You may not get lucky enough to have viral videos of your moment, like me. But I hope you recognize and appreciate your moment. Hank and Hara would have wanted you to ❤️

Este video es particularmente significativo para mí.

Toca fibras muy sensibles, pues yo, al igual que Dave, tuve mis momentos de amor y paz infinita al lado de seres mágicos.

También como él, deseo que todos lo puedan experimentar.

Y sí, también como él, dejé ir a mis amores.
