I thought I’d be ready to release her when the time came
That it would be a relief almost
After seeing her body suffer the effects of time and age
I thought it would be easier because my mind told me it would be many months from now and I had
More time to prepare
And yet that’s not what Life had planned
And so last Tuesday
On the day of my grandmother’s birth
I witnessed Pia in struggle and pain
And I felt a deep knowing in my body that her time of transition was very near
And my instinct responded to this knowing with a flood of tears and a deep, guttural cry
And then I reached out to gently hold her little body in my hands
And I felt great energy move through me into her
And we were both supported by It
I continued to let it flow through me
Joined now by my unconditional Love for her
And I instinctively and rhythmically and peacefully began stroking her furry side and belly
Knowing that she was being birthed into another dimension
And through it all, she was empowered to make her transition ✨✨✨
In the wake of her passing
I’ve ridden waves of deep grief and
I’ve surrendered to the contractions of sharp mourning
And I’ve joyfully let go into re-living the memories of our time together and our shared waking up
I re-experience her gentleness as she ever-so-slightly pushes up against my finger for a scratch on the side of her face
I re-member what it’s like to lovingly and playfully wrap my arms around her body and plant my face against her side and experience a strong purr erupt from her Being
Once again I feel her grounding, protecting strength as she energetically and persistently nurses me following a freak mishap
I joyfully re-witness her graceful gait as she trots happily toward me to receive more food
I revel in our shared love of spiritual self-empowerment books 🥰🤓
The way it feels to have her curl up in my lap, head nuzzled firmly against me
Her Beauty as she stares into my eyes with Love
Her astonishing ability to listen to what I tell her
Her patience as she sits quietly beside me, kindly waiting for food first-thing-in-the-morning while I meditate
And most deeply I re-experience
Our many reiki sessions with dear Laurie facilitating,
Where I can feel her growing trust in me and
The exquisite opening of her heart
Which coaxes mine open as well
And which ripples out and nourishes my whole world
And I continue to love her with my heart wide open 💔💔💔💔
Dearest Pia 🐱
May you experience love and ease and joy and Play in the next chapter of your Life 🙏🏻💕🦋🦋
