I'm still sitting with the aching watching my cat die. It's dragging on and I keep asking if it wants me to just help it out by putting it down. I have been so blessed with the unconditional love of an animal for 17 years. I never have known anything like it before, but this cat I called friend, known by name as Ziggy, showed me and taught me so much. Before I got I said I wanted a furry friend who would love and cuddle. And Ziggy became that. As a matter of fact I've never known a cat to be so affectionate and cuddly, it's more like a dog in that way, albeit a more quiet and subdued dog. And I admit, I ached when my mom died but it was strangely nothing at all like this. My unconditional Ziggy lover, or as I call him, love wrapped up in fur, represents me, that never really was and yet always is. Yet when I go into the aching it disappears or is replaced with more of a transformation into something else. Yesterday, as I was hit very hard by a pulling of overwhelming aching the wind chimes which I keep outside the living room window started tinkling in their high pitched tones, and it remained all day while I sat there. It was very comforting, as wind chimes have that affect on me and the 'special' part of it was that those chimes ring rarely, if ever. Their located in such a sheltered spot where the wind rarely hits them. The chiming kept reminding me of the nature of this dream, and the flow of it all here and now, as it is, with nothing more than this. And reminded me, as Toombaru said, to go into that. much love.

I have learned so much from animals. They are my Guru. Yours, fuzzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I coulda been somebody! " Instead of the mere partially enlightened spiritual teacher that I've become. Mr. E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
