Can cats tell stories? Well ... lots of animals tell stories when they are in stories. But that is because people authors put words into their speaking mouths. I have not personally had the experience of one of our littleCats telling me a story. Though I once received a dream from one of our littleCats.
Once upon a time ... in 1997 or thenabouts we were peeps to a littleCat called Reuben. I was taking piano lessons and I practised for hours and hours each week at home. One day, in this Once Upon A Time, I watched Reuben jump up onto the piano stool and stare at the keybard and tentatively begin to reach out to it with his paws. And again a few days later. And then he started to tap the keys. Thoughtfully, as if ... "reaching".
I came to feel that he was "aspiring" ... in the sense of ... if there are previous lives (and thus lives to come in this vastness we call "Time") ... that Reuben was aspiring ... "reaching" to be "more" en-souled consciousness. And thus, as part of that yearning journey, reaching towards being an "artist". For art is Creation.
So ... it's a really interesting question to me as an artist. Can they be? Or, are they? What do Bozie the elephant and Suda the elephant and Cholla the horse and Justin the horse and Nora the cat have in common? And what might they have in common with me? And ... with you?
Well ... they are all artists - painters and piano players. They can all be communed with on YouTube. Along with many others.
Let us then commune with Justin the painting horse, Cholla the painting horse, Nora the piano cat, and Suda the painting elephant.
The question remains ... are some animals artists? And if they are? Or, if they are not? What does your answer mean to you? And .. how final is your answer to yourself? Hah!
Namaste! I bow to and honor the light within you!
