As we continue safely starting to reopen, our home and yoga studio are blessed with the presence of three cats. Today is their birthday, as best as we could figure out with their vet, who was called to their rescue. These barn cats, abandoned by their mother who was likely killed to diminish the population of feral cats, have come to be a central part of our world.
They represent the 3 “ constituent qualities of nature“ called Gunas in Yogic theory. Paka, is a fiery (Pitta) long-haired orange tabby, with Maine coon traits. His brother, Padma, is a highly sensitive (Satva) buff tabby. Sister Pacha is a very chill (Kapha) calico. Together, this kindle are dynamic forces of life itself. This time of sequestration would not have been nearly as playful, conscious and relaxing without them.
Are you a cat person? Dog? Ki to Happiness loves all God’s creatures, great and small.
