I have been given the grace of seeing more than my share of double rainbows. And every one is a lesson in real beauty. It takes all of the colors to make a rainbow beautiful, just as it takes all living creatures to make this world beautiful.
YES. Comparative religion is something I've always been interested in and though I did not grow up in any religion I have studied a couple of versions of the Bible. I always look for the content in any holy writings as to animals and our relationships with them, because this is extremely important to me.BellaGooch I looked at that picture a long time too. It looks like a heart is covering Lady. I still don’t know how that happened but when magic occurs, I just enjoy it for what it is. One of life’s little happy surprises. Kind of like falling stars and rainbows. I think of that song a lot. I think putting the quote on something for a friend is a very sweet idea. I always save stars in my pocket for rainy days. Stay tuned!
tabbytom I think our kisses met in the sky! I’m quite sure they lit up my day. Photos coming. January has the most wonderful kisses!!
tarasgirl06 Indeed the Bible does refer to how we , as humans, should treat the creatures of the earth. It is the Righteous man who cares for the animals. You shall not see the donkey or ox fallen and ignore them but, lift them up again. Every kind of creature can be tamed. If you come across a bird sitting with eggs or young, you shall not take the mother with the young. The list goes on and on. Good lessons for how we should treat life and our earth. You don’t have to believe in a specific religion to understand that these are good ways to treat every living thing.
Ah. The bubbles. Those who live in bubbles tend to float through life but are often untouched by many things. Both good and difficult. I wonder if it leaves them feeling alone or if they feel detached. Perhaps they just don’t even realize they miss things? I have compassion for them too.
N NY cat man I hope Bashful had a great Gingerbread day! Such a beautiful face. I love little pink noses too. Ginger kitties always have such pretty eyes. Tell Bashful we say thank you for coming to visit!
Whenallhellbreakslose I am glad I could say something to give you support. Being stepped on can makes us move. That’s a good thing. I don’t really shut out what the naysayers express. I hear them but I don’t let it change what I believe is right.
Mamanyt1953 That is a smoldering kitty expression. Lol Melt your heart look.
Stewardship is exactly how I see taking care of any creature. I have often referred to myself as a guardian to the kitties.
The Shadow Knows! Lol I have said that a few times here but it goes well with that photo of Lady!
Elvis, Baby Su.... can I join you? I would sleep like a baby! Cat guardians! The very best kind of guardian!
I like the sound of that. Be a helper and a healer to all humans & animals.I’m grateful for all who DO something to help and heal.
Demi definitely would cuddle Lady. Maggie would probably punch her.Maybe Maggie and Demi would join her for cuddling.
I wouldn't mind some of that unbridled joy. That sounds exciting.Pain, work, frustration can result in relief, success and unbridled joy.
Face plant? Or tongue plant?Hahahahahahaha! I left a tongue print on the camera.
Oh I love that! Wisdom leads to compassion. Is that in the Bible?With experience hopefully comes wisdom. And a huge part of wisdom is certainly rooted in compassion, for others and for ourselves.
Oh I love that word smoulder. I'm gonna try to smoulder while strutting in my new jeans.Now, that cat knows how to smoulder! The old, "real" film stars would have KILLED for that smoulder!
Hmmm....I'm doubtful about one certain creature, but I'll keep trying.Every kind of creature can be tamed.
Oh I love that! I'll have to find that passage later.You shall not see the donkey or ox fallen and ignore them but, lift them up again.
Ha! Pawpurr is quite the little jokester. Did he learn that from Banjo? ... Is Pawpurr a boy or girl?A little more scratching to the right. Lol Two hours of massage should do it.,
My brothers and I used to do this as kids! Search for a rainbow after every rain. I had totally forgotten about doing this. Thank you for the reminder. I'll start doing this again.Every time there's a bit of sun peeking through when it's raining, I'll search the sky to see if we get a rainbow.
Possibly not, word for word, but it is the essence of spirituality.I like the sound of that. Be a helper and a healer to all humans & animals.

I’m glad you enjoyed the sky. I think we can thank the stars and January for that. Love was in the air.
(I had to disengage my ear from the side of my Big Blue laptop to type. He is purring up a storm. I'm thinking he really likes seeing and reading about beautiful skies and safe, well cared for, much loved feral and rescued cats. Do you think that's the reason?)Smiles for today anyone? The ferals never leave without a smile being given.
You had fun with your Ginger day?

An early laugh, and a wonderful day tomorrow full of cherished memories, I hope!BellaGooch Prints is a darling and Wanda Heart is a sweetheart. They are both completely precious kitties. I’m glad you found a smile!
tabbytom It’s always amazing how love has wings. You can’t keep it in.
Rainbows might be pathways for it to travel.
tarasgirl06 I hope that is the reason! I would love to think that seeing the kitties and rainbow skies would make Big Blue happy too! Can anyone resist a rainbow?
I am going to post early today. I have plans coming up for tomorrow and may not be on. Nothing bad. It’s Sarahs’ day. I always try to do something positive on that day. So..... an early laugh?
