When colors intensify....

it means fall is arriving.  When the heat of days get interrupted with cool bursts, that too for us is a sign of fall's arrival.  When light particles land lightly on the earth instead of beating down with force, that counts as fall too.  There is also the magical change in colors, which is caused by a host of seemingly unimportant factors, changes in amount of light, changes in acidity, quite a marvel indeed...

Well, fall was in the air that morning last weekend even though it did not look it.  We three had gone for a stroll in the morning. The surroundings were quiet, only little sounds of nature could be heard, truly an oddity for being in a big city in a condominium complex.

Cat boys were doing their thing, which consisted mostly of listening, sniffing, and observing.  I also think that they spend a great deal of time plotting but disguise it with their cuteness.
I was mostly observing them and the surrounding but felt rather unfocused, a frequent experience after being intensely busy for a long while.

Ollie was sitting like a Gingerella, perky, plump and pretty.  I could not read his mind but his face told me that he had a lot of mischievous plots arranged in a certain order in his head.

Augustus, the Sweet Pants, had sighted something on the wall and had the

urge to investigate.  His springiness made me snickle.

His jump startled Gingerella who instantaneously showed his Vulcan ears.  Certainly, this has to be a clever Vulcan cat but in fact he is not because he has many emotional outbursts, and we know that Vulcans are in control of their emotions.

The neighbor's geranium was particularly red, and miraculously has been the same size all summer (it is not fake),

and these leaves were particularly purple.

When colors intensify....so do our emotions and and mental acuity.  This really is a state and a season to enjoy and embrace.

I asked the red one to choose a reading for reflection and he chose this:

“‎"The more we search for ourselves, the less likely we are to find ourselves; and the more we search for God, and to serve our fellow-men, the more profoundly will we become acquainted with ourselves, and the more inwardly assured. This is one of the great spiritual laws of life." 

(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, February 18, 1954)” 

― Shoghi Effendi

I like this quote because it states a certain truth that is mostly unrealized.  On the other hand, I suspect that Ollie bringing this to my attention means that he wants to be served platters of tuna morning and night, and I am not falling for that no matter how much I become acquainted with myself.

Cat boys sent you pawfuls of kisses with deep meaning.  Enjoy everyone!

Ciao!
