Purrsy philosopy and approaching Penguins
Hi!
How has your summer been? Purrsy has been enjoying his, as you can see.
Although he’s lost both his sight and hearing, he still knows how to enjoy life. He still loves the warmth of sunshine on fur, the summer scents on the breeze, the bedtime snuggles. I’m striving to take a leaf out of Purrsy’s book. Busy as I am despairing about the terrible news from around the world, I’m keen not to miss Read more of this blog post »

Dear Wendy
Your heartfelt message has given me such strong emotions. I am so very sorry for your illness. As somebody who has battled with health issues for 20 years, I really understand how exhausting that is, and having to care for somebody else at See Full Answer |

“There are three types of people in this world, Very. (He called me Very.) There are those who make the world worse, those who make no difference and those who make the world better. Be one who makes the world better, if you can.”

“Don’t get me wrong. I do like people, I like them very much. I just can’t cope with them in huge quantities. I’m so aware of all those emotions, all those plans and dreams and longings. All those agendas. It’s like this massive overload to my system.”

“What are you going to do with your life?" In one way or another it seemed that people had been asking her this forever; teachers, her parents, friends at three in the morning, but the question had never seemed this pressing and still she was no nearer an answer... "Live each day as if it's your last', that was the conventional advice, but really, who had the energy for that? What if it rained or you felt a bit glandy? It just wasn't practical. Better by far to be good and courageous and bold and to make difference. Not change the world exactly, but the bit around you. Cherish your friends, stay true to your principles, live passionately and fully and well. Experience new things. Love and be loved, if you ever get the chance.”

“All morning I struggled with the sensation of stray wisps of one world seeping through the cracks of another. Do you know the feeling when you start reading a new book before the membrane of the last one has had time to close behind you? You leave the previous book with ideas and themes -- characters even -- caught in the fibers of your clothes, and when you open the new book, they are still with you.”
