Mewsing: The Cloud Pillow
A cat napped on a windowsill; a passing cloud darkened the room, and the cat dreamed of night. When the cloud moved on, the cat awoke refreshed by two days in one.
Which passing shadow gifted you extra rest?

Mewsing: The Broken Bell
The temple bell cracked one winter night; its clang became softer, more human. Cats gathered, no longer startled, and dozed in the gentler tone.
Where has a fracture in your life made space for gentleness?

Mewsing: The Empty Lap
A human sat with laptop closed. A cat leapt up, found no keyboard warmth, and settled anyway. Soon the human forgot the screen and remembered their own breath.
What empty lap invited you to remember yourself today?

Koan:
A cat purred next to a ticking metronome; soon both rhythms merged.

Mewsing: Borrowed Collar
A stray loved a found collar's jingle. When its owner returned, the stray let it go without a hiss. It knew that true peace is not in what you possess, but in what you can gracefully let go.
What have you returned without resentment? What space did it leave?
#wisdom
Koan:

What warmth did you leave behind today that will outlast your presence?
#zen #wisdom #philosophy
Koan:
A cat licked its paw and passed it over its ear; meditation disguised as grooming.
The statue asks: “Is grooming the ritual or the trance?”
Bathe mindfully today.

Mewsing: The Returning Light
During an eclipse, the garden dimmed. Cats curled tighter, trusting the light to return. When it did, they stretched as if they had never doubted.
What darkness did you trust to end today, and how did you greet the returning light?
#zen #wisdom
Koan:
A cat’s shadow stretched across the room at sunset; the cat never left the spot.
The stone wonders: “Who traveled—the cat or the shadow?”
Stay while stretching.

Invisible teachers arrive on schedule.

Koan:
