Thursday Cat Thoughts
By Miss Mattie
Come and be one, Become one ,just be one! (Say that 5 times fast!)
KT put up a picture on facebook of Mr. Bailey being one with the curtain yesterday. I know he was watching the men work on the road. Besides being a zen cat, he is also shy, so he didn’t bother to push the curtain away. Instead he just stuck his nose on it.
It got me thinking. In order to be Zen you just have to be one with whatever you are doing.
If you are sitting on the window sill with your nose to the curtain, be one with the soft curtain.
If you are eating, be one with it. This one is easy.
If you are walking around, be one with the feel of your paws on the floor/grass.
If you are sleeping, be one with it. (Well, of course you will, you’re asleep).
If you are in a hissy cat mood, be one with crankiness that is in you.
If you are going to cuddle another cat, be one with it. Never mind thinking of other cats as you do so.
And of course, if you are in the litter box, yes, you must be one with that too. I know, this one is tricky.
I see the cat below is one with the rainbow. Cool!
It is easy to “be one” especially if you quiet your cat mind and completely enjoy what you are doing. This is called mindfulness and it will help you to “be zen.” with what ever you are doing.
(Mr Bailey taught me this).
So, Now I am going to become one with my bed. Time for a nap.
