I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Day care doodle. At this time of year there are some fave stories I love to re-read. Gawain and the Green Knight is one of them. It's such a great conflation of Christian and Pagan. At once chaste, chivalrous, bawdy and raubchy. It is a tale at home at the Solstice or even better in the 12 days.

Here's Gawain getting a kiss while hubby is out hunting. I love that Gawain always then kisses hubby full on each night to show what he has "won" that day.
