Gracie was a purr-fect meditation companion this morning. She insisted upon my scratching under her chin. I could feel and hear the vibration of her purrs. At times I swear she was saying, “A little to the left. Yeesss. That’s it.”  What a purr-fect way to start my day. I hope you too

May you walk in beauty.
