was a beautiful emerald-eyed tabby cat
that came into our lives unexpectedly and taught us many lessons in which I hope to
share. My husband and I always joked that she was our
little Zen Master as she would bask in the afternoon sunlight and find peace
during the most chaotic days.
Reflections
of a Zen Master
appeared in SFPNN until the 1st anniversary of Misty's Soul
Graduation.
Misty came into our lives in 1992. Her eyes penetrated deep into my soul
before I ever knew that she would become an important part of our family for the next nine
years. During that time, both Misty and I grew... in trust, faith, love,
and over-coming our fears. She became a vital part of our lives - and
our hearts.
Misty's soul graduated on March
17th, 2001. Even in her death, she gave us many gifts of joy and continued
to help us grow. We have no doubt that she was - and is - a tiny angel whose
purpose was to teach us how to love unconditionally and bask in the glory of
each moment.
As I reflected on the many ways
Misty had changed our hearts, I became even more aware of the lessons
this furry faced little Zen Master had taught us. I hope to share these lessons with
you... both to honor Misty and to share the sense of fulfillment and joy that
has come from her knowledge.
For more about the story of
Misty's life and her transition, please read Misty's
Miracle in either the Soul Magic section of SFPNN or below in
Fuzzy Tales. (Click the title for
a quick link.) There were many more miracles than we could possibly
include but we know beyond a doubt that our lives were touched by an angel... and
continue to be.
"Love
unconditionally and bask in the glory and joy of each moment."
