The Purr

The purr of the cat is the universal hum, the thrum of all stars, mysterious reverberations from a wild and fathomless peace. Do not take this silken grace for granted. Daily cruelty and indifference abounds. Old wounds burned into your bones have smothered your delight. The purr beckons you to release your clench and deeply soak in warm quivering creatureliness. Linger there. Let it softly cradle the tender trembling mammal of your heart.

If manna has a rhythm, it is the purr.
