Stumbling Toward Enlightenment

I woke up with this in my head this morning. Enjoy!

Lyrics | Bill Withers lyrics – Lean On Me lyrics

“Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can – there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.” ~ Sarah Caldwell

“When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears” ~ Anthony Robbins

This morning I’m grateful that I don’t have a full-time job where I have to be in some office at a certain time every day and sit there looking busy, even if I actually am.

I’m grateful for the love that I have from my family and friends. I am grateful that I can acknowledge that I am blessed in so many ways…some that I’m not even aware of.

I am grateful that I woke to birdsong and can breathe clean air coming in through the screen door, that there are cats and dogs I greet every day who don’t bite, or scratch me, who recognize me as a fellow traveler.

Blessed be!

Cat Logic

Kali kat

Human logic: I feed the cat, therefore the cat is mine.
Cat logic: Human feeds me, therefore, human is my slave.

Human logic: Best time to pet cat is when relaxing, in front of the TV for instance.
Cat logic: Best time to be pet is when human is shuffling papers, typing on keyboard, or, as a general rule, whenever human is busy.

Showdown

Human logic: Awe, my cat is rubbing his head on my leg. My cat loves me!
Cat logic: Notice me, Slave. I’m hungry.

Human logic: My cats are cuddling with each other – how sweet!
Cat logic: I’m cold, and am putting up with the other fur-ball. Turn the heater on, Slave.

Human logic: I’m a decent person, but I sure know my flaws and limits.
Cat logic: I am a cat. Therefore, I am perfect.

Human logic: Some days, I wish I could sleep forever. I know I can’t do that, though.
Cat logic: Zzzzzz…
