Puppy

By Tan Beng Leong, Daniel, Mouth and Foot Painting Artists

The puppy sits poised amidst a bed of wildflowers, its head turned. Within its gaze lingers a tinge of reluctance and hesitation — not out of fear, but from something gentler. Perhaps it is the reluctance to leave behind the comfort of the familiar. Or perhaps, the reluctance to be left alone in it.
When the heart is pulled in two directions, sometimes all one can do is pause, look back, and feel.
