sometimes

we like to do this when we have too much to do

and other times we just make faces...it seems to help!

Ollie prefers to find some aromatic and enticing herbal stimulants to ease his nerves
or engage in a good roll on the cement ground.
After shaking off the spell they have on me I usually like to look up...look for light finding its way through the new and old leaves!
Augustus wanted to know what was on our reading agenda this morning! He said that the topic had exhausted itself and that now was a good time to read and reflect! He is bossy sometimes but more adorable he could not be, and he knows it.
We read this together:

"..loss of self-consciousness does not involve a loss of self and certainly not a loss of consciousness, but rather, only a loss of consciousness of self. What slips below the threshold of awareness is the concept of self, the information we use to represent to ourselves who we are. When not preoccupied with our selves, we actually have a chance to expand the concept of who we are. Loss of self-consciousness can lead to self-transcendence, to a feeling that the boundaries of our being have been pushed forward." Mihaly Szikszentmihalyi, in "flow"

"...be thou oblivious of this world below. Be thou wholly absorbed in the emanations of the spirit that nothing in the world of man will distract thee..." Abdul Baha, spiritual teacher

Cat boys could only agree with what they thought was obvious.
Later they made you good wish kisses and blew them in the air!!


Ciao everyone!
