Rolling with it
So, just how difficult or distracting is it to meditate with a kitten sleeping on your chest? This morning the answer was that it wasn't difficult at all. Smeagol seems to sense moods and calmness in me because he often joins me for meditation or yoga. It used to bother me but as I grow in my meditaion practice, it bothers me much less or even at all. Now, instead of focusing just on my breath, I find myself also being aware of Smeagol's warmth and the sound and vibration of his purr. Ah, and now Smeagol has been replaced by a nuzzling, kneading Deagol and a drooling, affectionate Fay-Fay. Guess it's time to get moving. Happy Saturday, people.
