“Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge” – William N. Britton
The Legend of Rainbow Bridge by William N. Britton
“Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge
When a pet dies who has been especially close to a person here on earth, that pet goes to a Rainbow Bridge.
There are beautiful meadows and grassy hills there for all our special friends so they can run and play together.”
……. “The pets we loved are happy and content except for one small thing.
Each one misses someone very special who was left behind.
……. All at once they break away from the group, flying like a deer over the grass, their little legs carrying them faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you hug and cling to them in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
……. You look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet so long gone from your life, but never gone from your heart…..”
The Legend of Rainbow Bridge was published in 1994 by William N Britton.
Those who have lost a pet, may have heard of the Rainbow Bridge. This bridge is a mythical overpass said to connect heaven and Earth and is a place where grieving pet owners reunite with their departed furry friends.
The verse refers to the spiritual lives of pets and their place in heaven, re-united with their owners.

"The unexamined life is not worth living" Author: Socrates A Greek scholar, teacher, philosopher. He was born in ancient Greece 469 - 399 BCE Socrates is said to be one of the founders of western philosophy. He would question to elicit independent thought, rather than tell students what to think. The quote is alleged to have been spoken by Socrates at his trial. He was condemned to death by the Athenian court charged with “impiety and corrupting of youth”. Socrates chose death rather than accept a life in exile. Such a decision, choosing death over the unaccepted alternative, was considered to be making a noble choice. For Socrates, the love of wisdom was the greatest pursuit. Knowledge developed by observations and debate, by analyzing and questioning, was valued. Socrates examined life and inspired others to do the same. Knowing that we all one day will die, Socrates expressed that a life without philosophy or evaluation was a poor outcome. The individual is responsible for his own life. Examination of self, and one’s life, is critically important according to Socrates. Socrates is considered one of the most important philosophers of the Western world and is studied in academia, and across many cultures. "The unexamined life is not worth living"
