Sometimes clear and concerted....

that was the overarching feeling in the air this past Saturday, at least for some moments in the morning hours. We were in the urban backyard, the three of us. Our favorite palm that stands tall and alone was particularly calm.

The cat boys were perched on the neighbor's patio wall and as I looked at the two of them I heard the music and watched the concert.

Ollie up, Gussy up
Ollie up, Gussy down
Ollie up, Gussy left
Ollie back, Gussy back
Ollie back, Gussy front
Ollie right, Gussy left....PAUSE
Singing bird now arriving in the tree.

Ollie back, Gussy back!
Ollie gives me the look, Gussy loves the bird.
At some point that day the cat boys filled their paws with special kisses for everyone, they were in good spirits.

At some point that day, evening to be more exact, Sylvester and I went to

"Musicians, Poets And Dancers Of The Harlem Renaissance"

that was presented by Dr Ron McCurdy of USC. The event that included jazz, film, poetry and a talk was very informative and also great fun. The cat boys expressed interest in poetry and jazz when I told them about it.

At some point during the weekend we read and reflected, just a bit only, on this:

"High aims and pure motives, however laudable in themselves, will surely not suffice if unsupported by measures that are practicable and methods that are sound. Wealth of sentiment, abundance of goodwill and effort, will prove of little avail if we should fail to exercise discrimination and restraint and neglect to direct their flow along the most profitable channels. The unfettered freedom of the individual should be tempered with mutual consultation and sacrifice, and the spirit of initiative and enterprise should be reinforced by a deeper realization of the supreme necessity for concerted action and a fuller devotion to the common weal..." (Shoghi Effendi)

The boys had a giveaway announcement from flordesol that must not be missed...the boys meowed MOSSSSSS...

Hope your weekend was concerted and furry,,,hope you received a few cat kisses.

Ciao everyone!
