Pegasus by Pegasus

Back in 1997, I went to a Pagan gathering at Minto on the outskirts of Sydney. It was a good event. At the time I was very very lonely and after a fireside round robin (in which we talked about multicoloured unicorns) I retired to my tent. Before I went to sleep I made a prayer to the Goddess - I wanted one true friend to come into my life soon.

That morning I had a dream in which I'm standing on a hill watching multicolour pegasi fly about. A voice says "read this" and someone hands me a scroll. I read what it says and the nearest one, which was white, lands next to me, retracts it's wings and rolls over on it's back. I tickle it's stomach and then the voice says "you've got that one for life now". And then I woke up to the sound of something scratching on my tent.

I open the zip and there's the care taker's little white dog. A couple of weeks later friends at Maitland phoned me. Their dog Cleo had just had a litter and would I like one? I drove up and their were a dozen puppies, all snow white. I called out "Pegasus, come here!" and one very special one came to his name.
 
 
 

And that was how I got and named him. He really was a gift from the Goddess.

That's a lovely story. I'm happy for the decade you had together.
