Anyone who has sought the meaning of life will find this simple, yet profound story meaningful because it answers the eternal question with a Christian principal recognized universally - if we do not live to serve others, life has no real meaning. Dominique the Donkey is a tale about a wild donkey whose destiny is to carry the Virgin Mary to Bethlehem, and 33 years later, to watch her son, Dominic, carry Jesus triumphantly into Jerusalem. Dominique is the hero of her own journey to Diamond Peak, the highest of the sacred mountains in the Land of the Sands, where she seeks her wildest dream - to find the meaning of her life. She is sidetracked by the plight of Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethlehem. Her sympathy for the mother-to-be outweighs her wild nature, and she carries Mary to Bethlehem, learning the value of service. After the Holy family returns to Nazareth, Joseph releases her, and she continues on her journey of discovery to Diamond Peak, only to realize that the meaning of her life is not to be found there. Dominique returns to her wild herd outside Jerusalem to teach them what she has learned. There, she watches her son lose himself in service to Jesus by carrying Him into Jerusalem. As the mother and son watch while Jesus is crucified, Dominique comes to a full understanding of her journey, and the meaning of her life. At the crucifixion, Dominique and her son are rewarded for their service when the cross casts a shadow across their backs, a mark which donkeys have borne ever since. Children will enjoy Dominique the Donkey as it makes the Bible stories of Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethlehem, and of Jesus making his triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, more engaging through an animal's perspective. Parents will find the story useful in teaching their children about the value of a life of service, at the same time reminding themselves of the importance of the promise, "My yoke is easy, and my burden, light."

Perspective is Everything
Perspective is the key to understanding. People can cope with just about anything if they only have the framework in which to place what is happening to them, or what has happened to them. Humans are amazingly adaptable beings when not locked into old habits. Perspective is fluid, it changes with where we are in the time line of a situation and it changes with your own unique emotional make-up. Perspective is the tool we choose when we strive for balance and understanding. It is our best and greatest hope when we strive for forgiveness. The forgiveness of self is our goal.

Did you ever find yourself driving down the road or walking somewhere and out of the blue exclaiming to yourself about something that happened months or years ago, I can't believe I did that Or said that The unresolved has the power to continue to come back to haunt us. It has the ability to continue to replay that which we regret in our memory.

Where we are in the process of our pain determines how we view ourselves and others in this world. Pain in the days following someone you love leaving you from either death or abandonment feels different than the pain of that same loss 10 years down the road. Pain is real, it is going to keep bumping into you. It is what you do with it that will determine your quality of life.
