xsmoonshine has gifted me with an lj snail. It is indeed a cute snail. Thank you, qwerty!

Have been reading books on meditation by Thich Nhat Hanh. Randomly flipping through the one on guided meditations, I came to this passage from the Letting Go exercise:

Contemplating my desire for a cat, I breathe in.
Seeing the impermanent nature of a cat, I breathe out.

Ohhh. No little Fluffy for me. How can all those Buddhist monks be so happy? Mh well, possibly because the word is actually 'car' which presbyopic me only realized when I looked it up to type this.
( Cut for more guided meditation, perhaps not quite as the Master intended )
