What's new with you? - Page 4

Another class might've been cancelled (it's still listed as active even though I received notification that it was cancelled.

) Classes start next week, so I'm reasonably frustrated with the department.

On a different note: I BEAT FFIV! *gloats* Neither of the people who gave me the game have done so, and I'm much newer at computer games than they are (I am going to "rub" Tyler's nose in this.

) The moment I beat the "end boss", I did the :kitty:. I'm still on cloud nine with this.

Congratz on your recent victory, Phyllis. I went to a "Halyard"

family reunion a couple of weeks ago in Austin. A little girl there was wearing a T-shirt that made me think of you. It had a picture of Sylvester (sp?) and Tweety--Tweety was sitting on top of the world pulling Sylvester up to safety. The caption read: "Save the world, one kitty at a time." Nearly made me cry!

So, what's new with my 12-year-old grandson, you ask? He is learning to play the flute. His sweet mother insists that he is the next Ian Anderson

. Apparently, he is convinced of this as well, because he told me, "Listen to this, Grammy--I can play like Jethro Tull!"

I gotta get me one of those shirts... *a number of :kitty:s meow in agreement*

I have been bringing treats to my evening class (the first one was a German chocolate cheesecake, the next week was honeycake, last Thursday was homemade chocolate chip cookies, currently thinking about what to bring next Thursday besides the stuff I'll be sharing with Yuri for a late lunch/early dinner [that will be either macaroni and cheese with ground veggiebeef, an "Italian" skillet {using fake Italian sausage} or a "Southwestern" skillet {using the ground veggiebeef, a can of diced tomatoes w/ chipotles and pasta or rice}].) I'm going to have to get some decent apples for an apple pie experiment using 7-year-old Cheddar cheese.

I just heard that the :kitty: with cancer recently went over the Rainbow Bridge, leaving behind a sister and an unrelated male (her staff pretty much raised the sisters since they were 3 weeks old.) She was 12 years old. At least she isn't suffering anymore.

I can see that little kitty now with my heart. What a beautiful kitty universe there is over that rainbow bridge. I am sure of this.

InPeace,

Phyllis:

Thank you for the wonderful gift of this link. Few things can bring tears to the eyes of this grizzled guy who keeps banging his head against brick walls, but this did. Lots of warm memories of my long lost friends came flooding back to me as I watched it. I can't wait to be with them again.

Oh, and Jimmy Hendrix had a killer album in the late sixties or early seventies of the same name. Loved that too, especially All Along the Watchtower.

I loved that poem.

Ciel · 10-24-2006, 02:05 PM

Today I collected the ashes, beloved cat Tom, returned to star dust.

Yet now already a hundred thousand and more new to be born, shall regenerate the love and life. Already here, this heaven, this earth.

This moment, a hundred thousand kitten moments of love, life and laughter.

This appraisal of heaven on earth, love given and recieved.

Dear Ciel--

Tom lives on the winds of Love that blow in your heart and all around. I am glad that you see him.

All my love, as always....

InPeace,
InLove

Ciel:

Tom is on the other side of the rainbow bridge having a great time with the five kitties that I came to know and love in my life. Look at it this way, every time that you and I breath in and out now, we're taking some of Tom's essence into our beings.

Peace,Love...flow....

Ciel · 10-25-2006, 09:18 PM

In Love and Flow, thankyou.There's love in your responses.

When there is so much love waiting to be released in this world, how could I not double the love from the local animal charity who rehome cats and kittens. And if any kittens would be sons of Tom, these are.

Welcome to the new world Rumi the dervish miow poet and dancer, and Oshi, being of bliss.

love - c -

flowperson · 10-26-2006, 02:05 AM

Indeed...Indeed...!!! Welcome Rumi and Oshi to our little corner of Paradise and to your new lives with Ciel.

flow....

*several of the IF :kitty:s gently nudge Ciel's mouse, then click on the link to The Rainbow Bridge, mewling Tom's :kitty: name.

*after a decent span of :kitty: mourning, the entire delegation head right for Rumi and Oshi, quietly asking them their :kitty: names before "officially" welcoming them into the :kitty: delegation amidst "traditional" welcomes and catnip gifts*

Phyllis,

Do I detect something in your words of " a decent span of mourning"

It has been almost a month since Tom's passing and many months since his fate was delivered. This summer he lived all the summers of the rest of his life, each day I lived between hope and non hope. Each day I was gratefull to hold the life of the greatest cat companion I had ever known, and there have been many. By the time of passing, he was no longer Tom, only a shadow. And still I loved. I gave him all possible life as he knew life to be in freedom of being. Mourning is not a bestower of freedom. I see no after life except in abstract form.No sentimentality of rainbow bridges and meeting again.

If I can give life to the living in this world, then this be my reason for being.

If I can manifest love through loving and giving, joy and happiness, then I know this life does not live in vain.

And I live in hope others may understand and the "god" of suffering laid to rest. And ask would you mourn suffering's passing? Do we need to pay homage to sadness that would take the life, out of the living?

Love, light and peace.

Dear Phyllis,

Feeling this feeling...........

I would not wish to appear harsh in sentiment for I know you are a kind soul and well meaning. And I would not wish to disreguard any other's rainbow bridge if it offers love and hope into their lives.
