Contemplation (my cat is my Zen Master)

Contemplation (my cat is my Zen Master)

Simon will sit on the bed for HOURS watching the leaves flutter down from the big Chinese Elm in the back yard. How committed is he to his "leaf meditation"? When he hears them calling to him in the breeze, he'll leave behind his food dish or ignore a newly-emptied Science Diet bag (his love of Science Diet Bag Residue is legendary). Considering how eating is such a religious experience to Simon, it was truly shocking to see him walk away from kibble to go watch the leaves fall.
Between that and observing his other meditation method (he'll lay down with his head up, eyes closed--but not sleeping--and a contented smile on his face), he really is becoming my guru.
