Perhaps we can...

I feel my hand slowly running down the soft fur...


I marvel at its softness as if I am feeling it for the first time...


I can hear a purring motor of contentment, as big eyes of innocence stare at me...


A few minutes before there were cries of pain as her paw was caught in the heater vent...


As I freed her paw you could see the pain fade, and the joy return...



How often do we feel caught, and unable to get away...


Disconnected, unconnected and alone even when we are with people...



Our hearts seem to be the key...


Perhaps we can ask for and allow the kind, gentle love of God to be there...


A love so silky soft, so pure that we can sense the innocence of its everlasting peace...


Maybe we can reconnect to this eternal love...


Could we feel the kindness and gentleness of God's love in our heart?


Can we allow our pain of feeling separate from God to fade, and our joy to return?


Can we then allow kindness and gentleness to be the outward expression of our inner joy?
