Now there's always the autumnal equinox, a time of bridging when the day and
night are of equal length. I once practiced in a Pagan tradition where the time of storms was honored at the equinox, and rituals done to strengthen our passage through the coming tough times. (To explain, Western New York has a rainy and thundering period in spring and autumn, and of course many of you know of our famous blizzards!) A full moon is always good too; symbolic of desires coming to fruition. This sounds like a cool idea. I'd gladly give it more discussion! Blessed be, Baha Dan M wrote: Lately it seems like a lot of us have posted important purr requests - job and financial needs, missing kitties, health issues, etc. In fact, it seems to me that a whole bunch of us are going through some majorly troubling times now - more so than in the memorable past. It seems to me that it might be a worthwhile experiment to select a date and time (perhaps the next full moon?) when everyone who is so inclined could, at the same time, do their thing towards addressing the purr requests. Prayer, casting a circle, meditating, visualizing - whatever each individual does - done as a simultaneous group activity might be a very effective tool. I would be willing to coordinate gathering the purr requests of those who have issues to be purred over. What do you all think? I realize it could be very difficult to find one time that would work for all, since we're spread all over the earth. Perhaps two or three distinct times, to allow participants from all over? I'd like to hear your evaluations of the idea. Dan |

Amen. We all need to see and feel tangible expressions of support!

I'd like to hear your evaluations of the idea. I'm all for a group purr, but I wouldn't like it if someone who needs a little support from people who care about them felt that they shouldn't post a request for purrs. I try to respond to most of them; I know how a little expression of caring can pick someone up. So in brief, I'm in favor of adding the group purr, not cutting the purr requests that are being posted. Regards and Purrs, O J |

Since Amber died, my house is too quiet and I miss the rascal that inspired so many stories. Maybe when I am through grieving, I will find more humor in my household of cats.

The best way to cope with the grief is to try to remember the cute of funny things she did and the love she received while she was with you. Hugs, CatNipped Hugs from me too. I agree with CatNipped, try to remember just the love, the good times, and the laughter. Then the grieving should just happen, not tie you up in it. Regards and Special Hugs, O J |
