You will be shown the way, look for the signs whether they be in human form or in animal or nature form. And fear will always hold you back. You have to have courage to continue forward and maybe look for a new way. The cat is beautiful soul and so are you!

“I think if they could see my face right now they would see one of concern and worry. We try to conceal these things from the ones we love, but at what point do we tell them the truth. All I can do is teach them as i was taught, and together we will have to walk this path not chosen.”

Yes … and I think the same for my brood….. the future suddenly seems out of reach as you grow older and time seems to mock old timers with honesty. This is a challenging transition from living to realizing to understanding to sharing the fruit of the reflection.

Thank you so much for making this perspective so very clear through the eyes of this beautiful animal. There is amazing depth in these eyes ….. a quiet repose, an understanding of how things work in life yet an apprehension for the future.

Thank you.
