I called them furry mysteries today...

I said, "cat boys, where should we take it today?". They pointed to the gate and so we took it out the front gate but
we did not get very far! Augustus the SweetPants fell on his side and
seeing Mr PuffyPants' paws I could tell that the same had happened to him.
So we took it back in on the other side of the gate. They assumed the proper learning posture momentarily and then I got side tracked by the furry mysteries who threw
glances in one direction
and then the other direction;
sleepy eyes closed
and sleepy eyes opened.
Gus with closed eyes and Ollie open eyes
followed by Ollie closed eyes and Augustus open eyes.
Then they chose to talk to each other for a while
and whatever Ollie told Augustus made him wonder deep wonderful thoughts.

Now they are telling me that soon they would be able to listen
and I don't believe that is the case based on their legs being extended in the air!

Mr Puffy Pants told me that he preferred to listen upside down
while SweetPants said that he would listen with his eyes closed for better concentration.
I take what I can get.
We were a few days ago, maybe a week ago reading Dan Jordan, On Becoming Your True Self and so since my mind was on instrumentation and lab work I decided to just for the much needed distraction...

"None of us knows his capacity for love or how much he can learn. Just as we had to have faith before we could learn about the attributes of God, so must we have faith before we can know something of ourselves. We must love- be attracted to, have a particular attitude towards- that unknown in our own selves if it is to become released. If we relate satisfactorily to the unknown in ourselves, we will be able to relate to the unknown in others. In other words, we have to accept others not only for what they presently are but also for what they can become; otherwise we impede their process of transformation and keep them from becoming their true selves. "- Dan Jordan

"Ye are My treasury, for in you I have treasured the pearls of My mysteries
and the gems of My knowledge."
(Hidden Words)

Later I asked Ollie to make kisses because Gussy had already made his and blown them in the air and so he did...

We wish all a wonderful week! Ciao!

  3. Puffy Pants and Sweet Pants in your eye shut, eye open part, I feel you were snoozing and may have missed the important part "we must accept others not only for what they are but also for what they are to become-otherwise we impede their process in their becoming their true self" This is very timely.
    My best

  8. I believe in many things.. my universe being the most important. And the timing of this post is another way I know my universe is still looking out for me. This has been a theme for me as i am entering a new relationship that is full of love and only because we both truly love ourselves. and I know your boys truly love you too.. it's beautifully apparent. much love to you as well.
