A Little Bit of Art and Soul

Lessons Learned from My Cat, Buddha Buddy

1/2/2017

​There is much to be learned from watching my cat Buddy. When I think about his joys and secret meditation spots I have to smile since he seems to know more about Slowing Down than I ever will (and I wrote the SLOW DOWN book!).

​Buddy owns nothing, needs very little to survive, and finds pleasure in the simple things in life. Every night he comes into my bed and starts talking about the day and then circles beside my hip and settles into his familiar place. The comfort and calm he brings my spirit is priceless. I am the Energizer Bunny from the moment I place my feet on the floor in the morning, so when I finally settle in my bed at night he adds the Zen to the Zone. I know that because of these 3 blanket nights he is probably looking for the warmest place in the house and my body radiates that for him. Yet somehow I also think he knows I need the centering vibration his body beside me adds to my mental state.   
​I have decided that this is the year I follow his lead and find a moment in the day to hide in a quiet corner (I would get in a bag but I don’t think I would fit) and breathe deeply and just pause..or paws.
