I believe that there is learning for us in everything that happens...should we choose to look for it. So last week, when I kept trapping the same cats over and over and over and, in the case of Blaze, over again, I began to wonder. Hmmmm.....what is the message here for me? I could focus on Blaze and ponder whether he is not the brightest bulb on the tree or perhaps he is very brave, or perhaps brilliant and has figured out that he gets a safe place with no competition to eat the wet food and then I'll let him go. On another level, what might Blaze, and Cairo, and Kismet, and the raccoon :), and Dewey and the previously ear-tipped-cats-that-I-haven't-named-yet be offering me? Since I caught them all more than once (okay, the raccoon I only caught once...)
Blaze
Kismet
Cairo
Suddenly I saw an opportunity to practice releasing. Literally experiencing releasing. Releasing cats (who could represent anything in my life) every day, sometimes multiple times a day. For Blaze it was a daily practice for a while - he must have gone into a trap at least five times. So letting go of these wonderful beings can also help me to let go of other beings, things, jobs, ideas that I care about and might come back to me...or might not. That might not serve me any more to hold on to. That might be just fine, or even better, if released.
Much to ponder here, thank you to all the brave cats who have offered me experiential learning in release and re-release and release again...
