Two days after losing Inky, I was cleaning his little corner when I found something under his carpet - a tiny nail, barely a fraction of his size. What started as a moment of raw grief became a profound discovery about how the smallest fragments can contain infinite worlds.
In this episode, I share how this nail became a doorway to understanding the Buddhist teaching that "one is all, all is one." Through specific memories of our 17-year companionship, I explore how this tiny object contained not just our journey together, but the entire ecosystem that sustained his life - and continues in transformed ways.
