Morning Meditation

I put

the big cushion

on my lap

as I sit down.

Wordlessly waiting.

He knows.

How, I do not know,

but he knows.

I hear him coming in

from outside,

deliberately walking down

the passage

and into the room.

I do not see him.

I sit

with eyes closed.

I feel the soft landing

as he jumps

onto my lap.

He kneads the cushion

for a moment,

purring,

and settles in.

I fold my hands

in prayer

around his

cold, strong

hunter’s body.

Gradually,

we become

one warmth.

“But oh! God is in his holy temple!

Quiet everyone – a holy silence. Listen!” *

* Habakkuk 2:20 (The Message)

'n Duisend Hande Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative [or creation] there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have believed would have come his way." W.H. Murray, Skotse ontdekkingsreisiger ~ ❖ ~ Cause of Death Uitstalling Ariana in vervoering Musiek Wanneer jy dinge nie so krampagtig probeer beheer nie, jou oorgee aan die vloei van gebeure en oop is vir die onverwagte, kan jy saam met Ian McKellen sing. Ian McKellen gee nie om saam met wie hy sing nie, solank hy dit net kan doen.
