Shy

Nicky (Nicholas Alexander) (Click picture for larger view)

"The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me." ~ Meister Eckhart

Nicky the Shy, quietly sits in his favorite bean bag chair on a lamb's wool fleece. He doesn't race through the house, rather plods quietly along. He doesn't hiss or spit or snarl at anyone, even when being hissed or spit or snarled at. He never knocks over glasses, bats at ornaments on the tree or fights for the catnip toy. He is a loner but with proud, almond shaped eyes of a clear blue. He is my strange and wonderful Nicky.

Nicky will be visiting the animals at Friday's Ark this week. If his shyness permits he will also make a stop at the Carnival of the Cats, hosted this week by Elms in the Yard. (end of post)
