here’s a story you might not know…
I got two baby kitties off the streets of New Haven in Nov 2024. two beautiful orange tabbies. one long haired and one short haired.
I knew I was going to name the long haired one Zeus. but I wasn’t sure what I was going to name the short haired one.
my Brother David suggested I name him Apollo. but that made no sense to me. they are brothers!
but shortly after that I knew what his name was going to be…Odin. because they are BROTHERS.
I love each of them equally. but in such different ways. Zeus, he’s the baby. the most snuggly boy. he was the alpha at first. Odin would follow him around everywhere, and at first i thought it was because he was the follower, and Zeus was the leader. but they were bonded from the very beginning. before they came here. I didn’t even hear a meow from them unless they couldn’t find the other one. I didn’t realize it was because Odin was protecting him.
Odin… Odin was a late bloomer. 🙂 he was always so connected with me. Zeus loved to go cuddle with my Mom or my Brother but Odin, his love was earned. and on his terms for sure!!!
but there was an intelligence in Odin that I didn’t see in Zeus. and eventually, he grew into my big boy. My Familiar. he knows what I’m thinking. even if he’s not in the same room as me. if it’s something important, all the sudden there he is.
when I had that beautiful experience where I sobbed my eyes out because I realized what they were doing to the people in custody from ICE, and most likely the caravan from the golden triangle back like 8 years ago… I sobbed like a baby. not even a baby…it was wailings of sorrow. the realization of how cruel this world is. but also the Understanding of the suffering of Christ on the Cross. and what that mystery truly ignites inside of you. it ignites unconditional love and compassion for all of us because, regardless of the despicable way MAGA played that blood sacrifice for power and control over our minds, Charlie Kirk was the one that I saw, right before I saw the thousands of Minorities in cages. They were Terrified. Scared shitless. And human experiments of an AWFUL type of Evil on Earth. It was almost like Charlie, who looked very Dead and not happy, through an act of courage or repentance, showed me something that I would have NEVER had put together. I like to think it was courage. Because who knows what kind of black magick they’ve rotted out the lower pathways of Death with, these “industry” folk.
Anywho…so I was wailing. I mean…I it rivaled when my Pops passed away but a different kind of sorrow. So, Odin…
He’s jumping up near me but I don’t think I was paying him much attention because I couldn’t control myself from crying. It’s a big blur. But then my brother yelled down to me and asked if I was ok. I figured I Woke him up. But come to find out…
Odin was SO concerned for me, he ran to my Brothers room and started nudging his feet to wake up.
Cats are remarkable. And I think it’s funny how Odin and Zeus have grown into their personalities of who they represent.
You see, patterns repeat, cycles spin, and the perspective of how mortal men interpret Cosmic forces, or Goddesses and Gods, changes. But the core of what they represent, is always there.
I wish us all blessings of Peace in this wild time. And know that the UNNECESSARY Suffering we’re going through by the hands of mortal men who believe in puesdo-understandings of Cosmic Forces/Gods, they’re not in control. And Truth and Freedom will reign.
