achieving Nirvana, the furry way

after reading Dr. Jay's from Yoga for Cynics
The Cat Story, i remembered this photo I took
from herr Gato a couple of weeks ago

I was wondering how long it took
Paramhansa Yogananda to become a Yogi
and how much discipline and control one has
to exercise to become a bit relaxed
let alone to be a little enlightened...

and yet herr Gato seems to achieve Nirvana
pretty much every time he naps around...
maybe he's getting all of Paramhansa's knowledge
by osmosis, since he likes to sleep by his book



as i told you before, he loves to nap
around books, funny fat blond cat this herr Gato
everyday i am liking more his literary relaxed style

berenice,
I envy your cat. I recently encountered a cat and took a picture with him/her. There seems to be a sad story behind him/her, about which I speculated on my blog:

Hey, Herr Gato had discovered the tried and (wish it is) true short cut to book learning... Osmosis! ;o) I tried that (sleeping on my textbooks) in my college year but my skull proved too thick for the knowledge to seep through passively. My neck was more receptive, though... I walked around with a crooked head for almost a week after that!

Hope the weekend is going well your way, amiga! Btw, the maritime museum is putting on that cannon battle shows every weekend this November, I think. Get your camera ready!

Cheerio,
Smorgy :o)
