Angel and Sunshine are Friends

My Tummy is Cuter than Yours

Summer

Joe Hisaishi, whose real name is Mamoru Fujisawa, is a composer and director known for over 100 film scores and solo albums dating back to 1981. I first encountered his music in the soundtrack of the animated film “Spirited Away.” This excerpt from a live concert is a fitting tribute to the approaching summer season of 2009.

I am PEACE

I am PEACE. I declare this as the Truth of my being, and I allow this declaration to transform all thoughts, beliefs and feelings that are counter to it. I am PEACE. I do not speak of a peace that is opposite to hatred, but one that transcends the war of opposites. In me is a PEACE that passes all understanding—a PEACE that heals and transforms shame, guilt, fear and attack. This PEACE prevails within my mind making me a blessing of PEACE in the world.

Angel

Here is my tiny kitten Angel just waking up from a nap.

And Tractor Makes Four

Happiness is a Warm Kitten

Here is little Angel, my new kitten. She weighs less than two pounds but she is "full of it." Thanks to John and Judy Brown in Cloverdale for making this heavenly match. Right now Angel is staying in the living room with the French door closed while she and Sunshine get used to the idea of two cats under the same roof. They have been meeowing to each other and watching each other through the glass. Keep your fingers crossed so that when I open the door separating them there won't be any fur flying!
