Or maybe it\u2019s the other way around. I am not sure where that statement came from, but I would probably say there is a nugget of truth to it. Perhaps we do become more like our critters, or more likely, we simply learn from them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A decade ago, my husband and I adopted a little black cat from the local shelter. As soon as they plopped him in our hands, he began to purr like a motor. We bundled him up, took him home, and named him Monkey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This name seemed to fit him much better than his original moniker, Phantom. Monkey wasn\u2019t a cat who liked to hide away, and he wasn\u2019t very stealthy either. Instead, he was restless, animated, and liked to play rough. Always in movement, he could barely sit still long enough for a picture. He\u2019s got a true \u201cmonkey mind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hate to admit this, but in a way we\u2019re a lot alike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like Monkey, I am easily distracted. I blame this on my Gemini ways, but the truth is that\u2019s not an excuse for having too many projects running at the same time with all the technology in the world clamoring for my attention. The blips and dings that alert me that I\u2019ve got mail or texts or other such things keep me in a state of high alert. \u201cWhat\u2019s happening? What\u2019s going on?\u201d Or, more accurately, \u201cWhat did I miss?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like a pinball whizzing around the flippers and bumpers, my brain is in constant motion. Sometimes I\u2019ve found myself amazed that I was able to get anything done at all.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My writing sessions were punctuated by petting sessions, and cooking a meal required one hand on the spatula while another held a laser pointer to keep Monkey from biting my heels. Disruption via feline was a way of life around my house, so, as you can imagine, it wasn\u2019t easy for a focus-challenged person like myself to remain present much of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One day, I was tapping away on the computer when I noticed Monkey staring down a bug. He was poised to pounce, eyes wide, and completely still. The bug wasn\u2019t moving. Neither was Monkey. This was a total showdown between cat and bug\u2014and neither was going to move until the time was right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fascinated, I stopped what I was doing to watch this duel unfold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stare-down continued for a few minutes. This cat wasn\u2019t going to flinch until he witnessed a glimmer of activity. Finally, I saw a flicker of movement as the bug slowly lifted his leg. Monkey\u2019s eyes widened as he wriggled his bottom. Suddenly he pounced on the hapless bug, and in an instant, it was over. The bug was lying face up, with no sign of life. Monkey sniffed around it for a second, then sauntered away. The job was done and now it was time for a nap in the sun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I found myself pondering this long after the deed was over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How could this cat, who detests the house rules and who seems to be in constant squirm motion, remain so deeply engrossed? How is it that Monkey was able to deftly finish his work while I sat at my desk, still stuck on finding the first opening sentence for my latest project?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth was staring me in the face as the little familiar beep that alerted me to an incoming text pulled me away from my work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had created a maelstrom of technology and distraction around me. This was preventing me from effectively \u201ckilling the bug.\u201d If I was going to be prolific, effective, and calm in both my work and my spiritual practice, I needed to set myself up for success. It was time to commit to making my world distraction-free so I could tame my own monkey mind.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an excerpt from a story written by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soundstrue.com\/store\/theresa-reed.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Theresa Reed<\/a> and featured in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soundstrue.com\/store\/the-karma-of-cats.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Karma of Cats: Spiritual Wisdom from Our Feline Friends<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a compilation of original stories by Kelly McGonigal, Alice Walker, Andrew Harvey, and many more!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Theresa Reed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has been a professional, full-time tarot reader for more than 25 years.
