You story with your kittens makes me smile and recall the antics my cats have gotten up to over the years…have had cats for many years, still have 3 older ones.

I am always amazed how self believing and self directing they are. They do what they want, when they want it and if they break an absolute No, NO, like sleeping on the kitchen table, they let me know as they leisurely jump off and leave me to see their tail still being at top level as I enter, that they slept there because they like it and will get down for me for the moment, because if they don’t that has consequences like being shouted at. They will go there every time when I am not looking and every night, just because they want to, if they want to.

But what you said about them living in the moment is important and a wise teacher, because that is something we find often difficult to do while our thoughts and minds and emotions react to experiences of the past in fear or we worry about the future and we get entangled. Yet that is where life is lived, only in the NOW and that is where we have fun where we find joy and peace, where we find inspiration. It is a place of great freedom. It’s a great place to be! All of nature is a great teacher.

Going to see the Dog Whisperer tonight, he is here in London/UK. He always shows that dogs also live in the now and demonstrates that years of difficulty between dog and owner change in a moment, because the dog doesn’t think about the past (the owner usually does) it responds in the NOW to the energy of the owner in the NOW.
Thanks for your story!
Blessings!
