Moonshine and little wet dogs

It has been an interesting morning to say the least...

OK, so what goes through some peoples heads at times?

On my way to the park to chase inner peace and make it submit to my will, I am crossing over Cowper Wharf, and I can hear barking... at first I think nothing of it until I realise it's coming from under my feet, and I click that there is a dog under the wharf... there's no way down there or to get under there as it is totally water locked... so looked around through the wooden slat boards, but I cant see him.

I then went to the Taj Blue Hotel, and tell the staff there, they say they'll call someone to help the dog... so I continue on my way to the park.

I put the dog out of my mind as I know he'll be looked after now, and settle in to do my Taiji exercises, as I progress with my forms practise, I am aware that there are a few guys on the other side of the lawn where I am training, watching... no bother I occasionally get some looky-loos, and as i start on another set of the form, I am just moving into "you pung", and I realise that one of them is shouting something and mooning me with a big hairy arse!

Err ok so that's not something that you want to see everyday, or ever, but I try and ignore the blighter so I can continue unaffected with my training, after all you shouldn't let distractions effect you... but dam! the old KF part of my mind just wanted to chase them down and deal out some rough justice...

So that form set was a bust to say the least.

I completed a few more sets of the form and by now I am calm of mind and focused on the form again, to the point that I am happy with the days progress and decide to head home.

I collect my things, and head off home, after a relaxing walk through the gardens, I am soon heading back down across the Wharf and the poor little doggie is still barking, so noone helped him yet? people are walking past, some with iPhone plugs in, others uncaring, or unconcerned.

So i think, right lets help him, so I walk around the wharf trying to get a angle where I can see exactly were he is, but it's too dark, I then check out the water, a school of fine looking fish swim past, and scores of jelly fish are pulsing through the water... I decide then is not the right time for a swim... scratching my head I head home to try and call someone who can help him.

I look up online, Animal Rescue Sydney... and all the organisations there only care about abused animals, I look up the RSPCA, and their automated message ruled out their help, so i tried calling the local police station... no answer... I then tried to call the council, a helpful young chap put me in touch with the city rangers, who, to their credit, went down there in under 10minutes and took a boat under the wharf... they looked and looked, but they could not find the dog... I can only hope he found his own way out and is safe.

I know i am a old softy, but I can't stand to see or hear others in pain.

So what in Taiji did I learn to day... in regards to the Moonshine "gay" boys, I need to work on the concept of "Wu-wei", calmness in all situations, clear headed and unaffected, able to act clearly and efficiently without emotion.

In regards to the dog, I will always try and act with compassion and caring for others if I can help, either by remote (calling an authority) or by action (getting physically involved).

PS. the pictures above are not of the dog, just pictures off the web to illustrate the morning, the top picture is of the BLUE Hotel though. I just hope that someone didn't throw the dog over the wharf in the first place, I guess I will never know.
