My cat particularly loves me when I'm feeling unlovable. She does her thing, sitting slightly behind and beside me on the sofa, purring as loudly as she can, straining for a scritch around her ears, which really grosses me out but I oblige because she's just so blissed out by it. If the weather is cooler (as it blessedly has been lately), then she becomes a lap magnet. Any time I sit or lie down, she's right there. She's a bit (a bit?) odd in that she won't stand for being touched while she's doing the kneading thing, but insists on it once she's curled up, bumping my hand if I slow down or, heaven forbid, stop for a second if my fingers cramp up.
Kitty love, it's the bestest.
I slept really, really well last night.
I went to a yoga class this morning, and the reading during shirvasana was about being able to feel the love and compassion of the universe, even as we have experienced trauma and abandonment in our lives. I cried quietly with enormous gratitude for the gift that was waiting for me in that yoga class, just when I was ready to claim it. How entirely amazing. A little bit of healing - for my soul, for my body - exactly when I needed it the mostest.
