The infamous blue bowl
Thursday Cat thoughts -The Blue Bowl
By Mr. Bailey
When I arrived here years ago, I brought only my blue bowl. In the blue bowl was the reflection of my happy blue eyes.
I found my forever home.
Now, I am a Zen Cat who has a human who loves me and a not-so Zen Sister, Miss Mattie.
My human fills my bowl and I am well fed, but it does appear empty at times.
Miss Mattie tells me that Monks carry bowls to collect food.
That I should not worry about an empty bowl, all will be provided.
She says that instead, I should ponder it’s existence while it is empty.
She asked me…
“Is a bowl still a bowl if it is empty?”
(I think she wants me to forget that she steals my food)

P.S. I need to stop teaching her Zen.
