“EDO” aka (LoveCat)
1990-2004
Edo was a serious cat – a cat’s cat,
but he was the music in my heart.
“Cats have much to teach us about courage, friendship, loyalty, integrity, life and end of life.” Edo taught me all of that and more.
Grieve not,
nor speak of me with tears
but laugh and talk of me
as if I were beside you..
I loved you so—
’twas Heaven here with you.
The sun came up right on schedule this morning, but somehow, it was not as warm. The sky is still blue, but not quite the azure of yesterday. The birds are singing, but their song does not seem so sweet. I know that somewhere far away, Edo is waiting for me, young again,
frisky, and pain-free.
I do not cry for Edo this morning. My tears are for myself.
Blessing for Edo
Good friend, you have died,
Soon you are about to leave your body, never to return.
Your actions here are finished,
You can take nothing with you on your way.
All regrets, troubles, and pain now no longer have a claim upon you.
Let your face receive the clear light.
You are pure now, no blemish or stain.
Hold on to your highest belief. It anchors you like a kite in the strong wind.
Become unified with the divine.
Let your spiritual friends guide you to unity.
Good Friend, give blessings to all things.
Compassion and love is with you on your way.
