A female (black and white) Tuxedo cat sits in the left foreground of the picture, wearing oversized reading glasses with purple and white rims.

In the background is an image of an open copy of the Sanskrit epic poem, Mahabharata—opened to the Bhagavad Gita episode—showing writing and artistic renderings of blue Krishna dancing with cows, a symbol of spiritual unity, the dharma, and one of the seven mothers of Hinduism.

#Caturday #CheshireCat #Psychopomp #InnerJourneys 🩶 Resting in presence, straddling the liminal places of the betwixt and between, Grace still seeks and finds us there. Balancing sacred madness and common sense, where equanimity has its place. 🩶🖤 💜🩷 But we should leave room for the wild. 🩷💜 ~lco

The purple-and-pink striped Cheshire Cat from the 1951 animated film, "Alice in Wonderland." He sits in a tree; all the colors in the scene fading into dark purples, greys, and black.

The Cheshire Cat has disappeared into the twilight, the invisible, and the darkness. His yellow eyes and his broad, white Cheshire grin still shine brightly through the dimness and the falling night.

A black-and-white image of a man standing on a mountain cliff beneath a star-filled night sky. He reaches above his head and appears to be holding or grabbing a star. Next to him is a wheelbarrow filled with stars. He might be collecting stars, or perhaps he is adding stars to the sky. Artist unknown.

Holy Artisans gather about the inner shores To set alight the heart-lamps Dropping them one-by-one, two-by-three, Then five-by-eight, and so on Into the purple-blue spun starlit spirals. Off in thunder-sailed chariots Pointed light speed ahead, The Star Ones cast afloat the hallowed rays. ~lco
