Reality Check My Life | Snack Pack | S14E2: Bear at the Bend
Animals appear in sacred stories for a reason.
They sense what we overlook.
They register what we’re not ready to name.
And sometimes, they stand at the threshold long before we realize we’ve arrived.
In this episode of The Bend Between What Was and What Will Be, I’m reflecting back on a moment from last summer—when my dog Bear stopped mid-walk, barked upward into an unseen presence, and held his ground with unmistakable clarity.
This isn’t a story about superstition or projection.
It’s a story about embodied discernment.
About the quiet intelligence of animals.
And about what happens when a non-human witness sees something before we do—and waits for us to catch up.
Bear wasn’t scared.
He wasn’t reactive.
He was instructing.
If you’ve ever felt a dog pause at nothing…
A cat stare into empty space…
A horse refuse someone’s touch…
Then you already understand.
This episode is an invitation to remember that creation still speaks—just not always in words—and that sometimes the clearest guidance comes through a body that doesn’t doubt itself.
Trusting what you feel doesn’t always come easily.
Bear did.
I’m still learning.
We leave the Enlightenment on for you…
and the Shadows have snacks.
