Our 20+ year old cat Sparky gives us the opportunity to face head on there and stay, unlocks from this level of existence.
Sparky can't hear - he has unlocked that connection to HERE.
He howls at night out of anxiety, hunger, or confusion - who knows? But with Sparky we have the opportunity to give comfort!
Hold him, and he begins to purr. He relaxes. He is calm. - Rights
