In my life I have had the privilege of knowing many extraordinary, beautiful animals but I have learned the most from my cat Mouse and eventhough he is not with me anymore physically he still continues to teach me everyday.

Animals have the ability to show us what is going on inside of us. Especially cats excell at this and I have experienced this in particular with Mouse. Maybe you can already tell from looking at his picture that he had the ability to look right through all inauthenticity, straight into your soul.

That sounds like a beautiful thing an in fact it is but it’s not always easy. It was often very confronting for me to have someone in my house who looked right through all my protective layers and nonsense and kept on challenging me to really look and feel what was happening deep inside of me.

Finally I got the message: I love you unconditionally and I want you to learn to love yourself again….this is what master Mouse brought me back to everytime and when I look at his photo now, he still does.

I am sure he will be there with me when I work with your very own Zen Masters!
