Mediation, Meditation

I spent a large portion of my day today mediating the relationship between my cats. Circe was at the vet this week (see a few posts back), and when she came back, Hestia was very afraid of her. And she continues to be, so when Circe gets too close, Hestia hisses and spits and runs away, which encourages Circe to chase her. It's a little tense around here. So, I sat on the floor of an unfinished bathroom today between two cats, occasionally giving each of them treats and pets, telling them that they were good girls. (Can you spot Hestia hiding in the sink?) Between those moments, I sat quietly on the floor (it's heated, so don't feel too badly for me) for a really long time. I got a book and read. And then I found that it was a good moment for quiet reflection and some meditation. Take the moments when they come to you.
