The Philosophy and Songs of Glory

Glory is a beautiful and talented Bengal cat. After successfully mothering many kittens, some of whom became Champions and Grand Champions in the TICA cat show circuit, Glory has found time in her retirement to communicate her philosophy and songs to her human family. Glory communicates with her human Susan, both through song and thought. With her permission, we share these with you.

Philosophy

On living:

Peaceful beginnings are best before starting any enterprise.

It is not necessary to capture the moment,
Relishing the moment is [what is] important.

Peaceful, restful time goes quick/slow
depending on how much you desire it

Restful thoughts always waiting
Beneath the surface of turmoil
Let them shimmer [shine] bright

Good going and coming
Through fields and streams
Silently go all cats

On exercise:

Exercise is best taken in small doses. Enjoy what you do and try different maneuvers.

Sometimes exercise can be creative.

On creativity:

I sing when I have the urge to create my songs. The desire to create shows itself at different times and in different ways.

Morning Songs

It is a wondrous day
Like many another
Full of smells, sights, sounds
Delicious

A mellow day starting slowly
Becoming
Brighter Still

The light enters in patches
Spots of golden light
Moving slowly across the floor

Evening Songs

Night comes slowly, light fading
Colors change, shadows deepen
Walk among the coolness

I walk my territory
Bold is my grace
Silent as I choose (to be)
Covering ground low and high
