Today I have spent more than 2 hours with my cats Pinky, 50 and Jakie (the new arrival) and all three were happy with me and they were nourished by me. The other cats from my FERAL COLONY visited my terrace and had their due right of food, water and milk.
My wife is sick since October. She is not used to the hard cold winter and has a cough so that we have to be closer to her, too. The doctor has given her antibiotics and other medication but it is sensible to use some really warm clothing instead of depending on meds only. Meds can cure you but what if no care is added with them? No result then!
I have big responsibilities here, Mom, dad, cats, three daughters, wife and students.
Its life! This is how it is and perhaps this is how it should be to a person like me. A spiritual man??? Aaah very hard and tough track but I will not get tired until I am OVER.
I can still remember what my spiritual teacher once said, yes every word is in my heart and spirit, he said,
“When you are dead tired, when you feel broken, and no human can help you in this kind of a situation, you must seek some help from nature, be alone, meditate, go away from every one, take a deep breath, and if possible go to the innocents who really need you and who can share your hard time without speaking a word, just with love, for love and by love.”
I just sat on a chair outside in the cold, and got LAILA on my arms. She had taken a bath with Khadija and here is what I had, THE LOVE, which is precious for me and for my kitten 5 weeks old LAILA.
Thanks for reading my feelings, my friends. Special thanks to Michael Broad who have been there every time when I needed to share my articles on POC. <3
Ahsan, I am so happy for you that you still have a mother and father. I so wish, even for a moment…
Like you, I am very much a hugger and kisser with my cats and my grown children. I grew up in an affectionate and demonstrative family. An enormous love for animals and people in need.
Much to my son’s dismay sometimes, I will always nearly kiss his 40 year old face off and tolerate him saying, “Gosh, Mom, are you trying to eat me?”
No problem with my daughter as she is like my clone, extremely affectionate.
Good for you Dee. Your son is lucky to have a mother who shows her love for her son. We all need it.
Thank you DEE, YESSSSsssss, you are a real cat lover and a loving MOTHER for your cats and children. I had no doubt about that and today I have a strong view about you regarding this aspect <3 <3 <3
Ahsan, I like the sound of your spiritual teacher – a truly wise man indeed.
I work in a stressful environment, but I take great pleasure in feeding the wild birds during my lunch break. I find it very calming to watch the crows and magpies who are regular visitors. The crows are particularly intelligent and now recognise me before I even put out food.
There is a peace in appreciating nature that’s hard to find elsewhere.
