2、 Shiloh loved ice cream, and he had his ice cream when we had ours, after dinner.
One day, I made the mistake of giving Shiloh his ice cream after lunch. After dinner, barking insistently and tugging vigorously on my left sleeve, Shiloh reminded me of my responsibility.
“Wouldn’t it be nice,” I said to my husband, “if he’d remember that he’s already had his ice cream today?”
A few years ago, Joe Hutto recorded his devoted parenting of 16 turkeys from the moment they hatched to their inevitable emergence as independent adults some nine months later. “These turkeys had taught me,” he said, “not to betray the moment for some abstraction up ahead.” He said he felt that human beings seldom live in the moment, that they're always relinquishing the present—the only reality一to think in terms of the future, or even the past.
Creatures wake up each morning with such innocent expectancy, ready to go forward, ready to experience what life will so naturally present to them. Clearly, they have no consciousness of time. Yet ignorance of time doesn't rule out a very fine-tuned sense of timing, nor even prescience. Nor is this unawareness of time a kind of memory loss that precludes gratitude for the good already experienced. Creatures seem always to remember—in the now— those who have been good to them.
Shiloh isn’t with us anymore, but I am still grateful for the way he perfected my ability to focus on the moment, making me even more careful about what I offered him—and when I planned to make good on that offer. If a treat, a ride in the car, or a walk was mentioned, but wasn’t immediately approaching, he tugged with determination on my left sleeve to either pull me in what he felt was the right direction or to keep me from getting away.
I determined to do an even better job of adjusting myself to his opinion of life lived in the now—and consciously adjust my perception so that I lived my own life more in the moment.
