Hear Me Roar

Kitty Photo of The day

from Boered's photostream

Zen Quote of the Day

What good does it do to
brood on the past
or to anticipate the future...?

Real-life inspiration for "hear-me-roar"

Take a moment to settle yourself

before the rush of the day begins.

Feel the calm and use it as an anchor,

a reminder there is silence under the chaos

Dance, when you're broken open.

Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.

Dance in your blood.

Dance, when you're perfectly free.

A cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.

This is the best season of your life.

Verse of the Day

How I love the rain

Used to be

because it feels like

redemption

for things we did

and didn't do.

The comfort of rain

because it's cold outside

but warm within.

It's bitter-sweet,

a secret tear

and a hidden smile

I still love the rain

but only as change

from a sunny day...

The human-divine combination

Kitty Photo of the Day

Halo doing a MJ tribute

Verse of the Day
The disc of the sun does exist, but if you see

only the ray-bodies, you may have doubts.

The human-divine combination are a oneness.

Plurality, the apparent separation into rays...

An original catmaSutra cat art commissioned painting,
Peace & Happiness

Friend, we're traveling together. Throw off
your tiredness. Let me show you one tiny spot

of the beauty that can't be spoken. I'm like

an ant that's gotten into the granary,

ludicrously happy,and trying to lug out

a grain that's way too big.

~ Rumi

I care not much for a man's religion whose dog
and cat are not the better for it. ~Abraham Lincoln

The human spirit is not dead. It lives on in secret.... It has come to believe that compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind. ~Albert Schweitzer, Novel Peace Prize address, "The Problem of Peace in the World Today"
