Where is Kuma?

Where is Kuma?

Kuma died in front of me seven and a half years ago, in 2015. Kuma was my female dog that lived with me from 1998 until 2015, 17 years. I watched as one moment she was alive and breathing heavily then the next she stopped. Her eyes froze. No sound, no breath, no heartbeat. She went still. Where did she go?

Each day that Kuma lived we got closer. She depended more on me and I depended more on her. We crossed into each other’s being. She became more me and I became more her.

The moment Kuma died time stood still. I am still in that time. And I want to know what is next. Where did she and part of me go? Where is Kuma?

I realize that in the vast world, universe and trillions of galaxies we are just a minuscule occurrence but to me it is the biggest question. To answer where is Kuma is to begin with who was Kuma and who am I? Who are we?
