Zen master

This is our fur princess, basking in the winter sun while waiting for me to wake up and feed her.

I managed this particular morning to capture her before she noticed I was awake.

There is hardly any other creature in the world that radiates and transmits such calmness, such a sense of harmony and comfort as the cat.

(See how she snuggles her paws with her fluffy tail - absolutely calming and mesmerizing.)

Teaching us peace, a slower life, a leisurely life if you will, while enjoying the little things - the fleeting warmth of the winter sun, the human who will now open the window, put food in her bowl and pet her.

I still truly miss this cat. ❤️ This great teacher, master in meditation and zen state.

And still think she was the greatest teacher, not her brothers who are so different from her, yet alive.

I sometimes wonder how such a master in zen could get into trouble and disappear. Creatures like her should live up to 100 years.

But, alas. Most of the true teachers on earth do not live to be a hundred years old. I think you are aware of that, right?
