I often return home in the evenings and she is the only one waiting for my return. My neighbor’s cat is sprawled next to my door, resting, enjoying the cool textures of the grass, uninterested in anything else but the soft wind in her face and the dogs barking in the distance.
Coco loves my home, for some reason, and I welcome this black cat, her curiosity and fearlessness. At times she ventures into my back yard and her concentration, as she is perfecting her new skills at hunting, is awesome. At other times, she is just curiously exploring, aimlessly playful. In the evenings, she glances around, fully aware of the cooling sunset, her body at rest.
Coco is also a faithful teacher. When she is tired, she rests; when curious, she lets her intuition guide her into exploring unknown territory; when hunting, she is focused, precise, alert, knowing exactly when to jump into action.
Meditate on these questions:
- In your life, do you give yourself time to rest?
- Do you give yourself permission to explore new territory, letting your intuition guide you until you realize what your heart wants?
- Can you be focused and alert, ready to perform when needed?
- After that, do you know how to go back full circle and rest again?
Peace,
