Zelda's New Year wishes...

UPDATE: As a follow-up to this pic, I'd like to post something that my father wrote:

For much of our lives, the kitty is a good model to follow. There are times when we need to think and use our language skills, but we could probably get by doing much less of these activities.
We as a species are prone to worry and guilt and doubt and prejudice and closed, circular thinking that tends to make us feel worse, tends to increase rather than lessen our troubles and ills. The kitty avoids these mental traps.
Clearing our minds is difficult, seemingly impossible, yet some people whom we all hate manage to do this. They meditate or pray or whatever, keeping their mind open and clear, not adding to their trouble and suffering but even lessening it.
