When the world shouts obscenities
and the winds of change roar in the trees,
move low to the ground to the hiding place.
When fear is strong, pay attention.
Sit in stillness, in silence and listen.
Wait. Think. You don't have to move yet.
and the winds of change roar in the trees,
move low to the ground to the hiding place.
When fear is strong, pay attention.
Sit in stillness, in silence and listen.
Wait. Think. You don't have to move yet.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Purr to comfort yourself.
If you must move, be stealthy,
silent in the shadows, then return to safety.
When quiet evening finally comes - emerge.
Look around. Sniff the air. Stretch.
Give a wide yawn. Blink. You are still here!
Pay attention!

This was an older post I thought needed another go. There is a story to the photo. The windows were wide open at home and there was a crew of roofers working nearby and they made a lot of noise. After a while I noticed my three cats were missing. I hunted under and behind everything until I found them. They were lined up in a straight row in the narrows behind a dresser, hiding from all the noise. If I had tried to line them up like that, well, herding cats right?
