As Thanksgiving has come and gone I often am reminded, like tonight of the variety and power that life has to offer. As I sat by the fire reading my latest find and listening to the power of the rain hitting the earth and spatter down off the gutter-less roof, how beautiful and calm life can be. How immense the world is and the hidden joys that force your senses to remember why it is you take a chance at this thing called...life!
And now as I write I am joined by my best companion, one that crosses boundaries of species. I sit and write with breaks every couple words to reach down and pick up the "twisty tie" that Sebastyan brings to me...this is her favorite toy to play fetch with. And the boundaries she crosses...well did I mention that she is a cat, and yes she really does play fetch, a game she learned as a kitten when I would open my mail. The sound of ripping paper is a trigger and if you roll it into a ball she enthusiastically jumps, and runs and is very fond to forget that she is not a dog...and I love that about her.
I must say honestly that the surprises of life and the constant change, even though at times scary, is truly what makes it worth living. Constant comfort and fear to try new things I hope to always keep at bay, I love the adventure!
