A thank you

a black cat lying on a red blanket

 I sit by my desk working. 

The house is cold, as i try to save on the electricity bill. 

I need to fetch some water and so i move.

The little bundle on my lap stays there unconcerned of the motion in the beginning.

Then it gets up, stretches while still on my lap and finally leaps onto the benchtop.

I immediately feel the loss of her warmth.

I look at her, pet her and say "Thank you kitty".

Thank you for the warmth and love you give to me.

a black cat with green eyes looking straight at the camera and sitting on top of a notebookThank you for always being there with me, even when you sit where you are not supposed to, like on my notebook when i' m writing.

Thank you for waiting for my return to home and welcoming me with loud meows even before i open the door. 

Thank you for sniffing my face and licking my eyelids when i' am laying in bed.

Thank you for being naughty and play with the yarn as i try to crochet and play with the rubber band as i try to seal a plastic bag.

Thank you for every major or infinitesimal thing you do.

Thank you for being.

Thank you.

The 5th of July by Nicholas Leonard | Short Review

THE morning after a 4th of July party, Amanda Teacup wakes up to an unexpected visitor from the other side. BUT, The 5th of July by Nicholas Leonard is NOT just another ghost story. It's a reckoning .  Leonard uses the supernatural to explore human issues. To explore us. Our history, our plastic patriotism, our cultural amnesia.  What I love about his story: He tackles many different important issues. His story has layers , each one revealing deep societal fractures. And apart from that, his storytelling is so vivid that one feels as if they're inside the story, not just reading it. The details aren't just decoration, they are arguments. Everything hums with subject, adding to the story, making it absolutely compelling but simple and deeply humane at the same time.  The setting: Lynn, Massachusetts and the woods. Even I, a reader from Greece, with no knowledge of the place whatsoever, after reading Leonard's story felt deeply connected to the place. A need awoke in ...

The Farmer & The Snake - Summary and Analysis | Aesop Fables

Summary This fable tells us the story of a farmer who felt compassion and pity for a snake stiff and frozen by the cold. He thus thought it wise to place the snake in his bosom, to save it apparently. But the snake, after having revived by the warmth and resuming its natural instincts, mortally bit the farmer. The farmer then, with his last breath, cried that he was rightly served for pitying a scoundrel. The moral lesson of the fable is: “The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.” Analysis The moral lesson of this fable is a very important one and should be given due notice, though i find this fable as told here, not very successful for the following reasons:  The story talks about a farmer, to whom nature’s dangers are not unknown.  Why, why, why would a farmer ever place a poisonous snake in his bosom? So, it was naïve of  the farmer to rescue the snake in the first place and secondly, when he did, not carry it in a pouch but put it in his bosom. The fa...

The Frogs & The Ox: A Tale of Vanity and Authenticity | Summary and Analysis | Aesop Fables

Summary : In this  fable, we find an Ox who accidentally squashes a young Frog while taking a sip from a reedy pool. The wise old Frog, intrigued by the incident, asks about the reason behind the little one's sudden disappearance. The other Frogs paint a picture of the Ox as a gigantic monster, and the old Frog, keen to show her own size, puffs herself up. However, as the young Frogs insist that the monster was even larger, she continues to inflate until she bursts.  Moral Lesson & Analysis: The primary moral lesson is: “Pride is all good and well, but don’t think yourself bigger than you are.”  The old Frog's vanity and desire to seem bigger than she truly was ultimately led to her downfall. This story serves as a valuable lesson against excessive pride and self-deception.  In addition to this moral lesson, we can explore another perspective. The fable sheds light on the folly of comparing oneself to others. The old Frog's attempt to measure up to the Ox's size ...
