Ansui continued to sit in the supple sands, his long fur rippling as the grass did in the wind. He suddenly felt another presence - he was so immersed in his mind that it seemed that he simply knew another was there, although in reality, it was his nose and his ears that told him such, especially when a high-pitched and puppyish bark sounded from the shore. Ansui smiled unwittingly - he loved the young; they were full of energy and life and everything that was good with the world, innocence being one of them.
He willed himself to stay put, to become one once more and meditate - it was no hard to do, as that was what the man had trained himself to do. He did not forget the puppy, but included her in his meditation, remembering what it was like to be as young as she and as carefree and playful, yipping and running across the sandy beaches as he once did.
