Kitties are for yoga! Taking a few moments to settle into stillness, notice their breath, notice sensations in the body, become present.

As I was walking through the neighborhood yesterday, I was looking for beauty and awe. This magnolia tree caught my attention. I love how it has three blossoms at different stages of development near to each other. Each one is unique and beautiful in its own way - just like humans.

I admire these gentle humans who did not pass on their trauma 

Not everyone who’s been hurt turns their pain into more pain.

Some carry their wounds quietly, learning from them, letting them soften their voice and stretch their patience. They don’t let what broke them break others too. Instead, they pay closer attention, they listen like every word matters, they speak with a kind of honesty that feels rare, and their smallest gestures carry a tenderness that only comes from having known real hurt. They remember what it felt like to not be heard, to be dismissed, to be left alone with it all, and they refuse to be the reason someone else feels that way.

It’s easy to believe that pain breeds more pain, but some people prove otherwise just by the way they love. They love like they know how much it can save someone. They’re not perfect, some days they’re tired and they’re still carrying so much, but even then, they choose kindness. They choose to show up fully. They let their past shape them into something softer, not harder.

Not all hurt people hurt others. Some love better because they know exactly how much it matters.

While I was Dog Sitting last weekend, Teddy was so curious about the kitties! Here he is taking a break from his obsession with them. He really was very well behaved. I’m a proud Grandskrit.
