Crazy Cats and a little thing called life....

            I have a cat whose name is Kriebel Muffington. She was rescued from a flooded basement in Rutland, and unfortunately her seven waterlogged kittens were not. We adopted Krieble and Eva named her…At first she hated and feared all of us, especially my father, but after years she has warmed up to the family and been the friendliest (though

I love it all and am glad to have these lonely moments thrown in with the chaos in which to document it. People all around us are changing, becoming adults over night? guess I just mean, we need to keep our eyes and ears open or they?l just slip away into nothingness, along with any maturity we could gather from circumstances.

very very very true for me as well.

This is sort of related...well, not much, but your last paragraph reminded me of a thought I've been having recently. Throughout my life...and for the rest of it....there have/will only been a few people whose lives I have been able to learn about and understand and be a part of. Everyone else....I've just glimpsed their life, I guess, but I've decided that that is almost as valuable to be able to catch bits and pieces of people's lives as it is to understand them more fully....it certainly is interesting, anyway. That's one of the reasons I love Village Harmony; because I'm able to meet sooo many different people, both a lot of the people in my group and through my travels (the family's houses i stay at, etc.), and even though I don't know the people very well, I take parts of their lives with me, and I learn from all of them. About what you said about documenting them...I'm like a little gerbil...chewing up little bits and pieces of people's lives and toss them into my own at random, and reflecting on it all at some point...in my head, or actually physically domumenting it.

And of course, as you said, I'm thankful to know all of the people that I do, because even if I'm not close to them, I learn a least a little bit from everyone....

Thank you so much for your brilliance Sophia...i think you understood what i meant to say there even better than i...Let me just say, if and when we separate i will have this comment (at the very least) as proof of our friendship ....and more than a few emails...
