Moment of Zen: Cats

By Joe


My landlady the other day said that I could finally have a cat. Now I just have to find one. My girls back in Alabama are safe and happy and I don’t want to upset their lives, so I’m going to adopt a new kitten up here. So far, I haven’t found one. I’d like to get a Siamese or Siamese mix. That’s what Victoria was if you remember when I used to talk about HRH. She was a great and loyal friend and I’d like to find another who will be as loyal and comforting. I’d settle for a calico if I found the right one, and I did see a calico Siamese mix, but she was an older cat who’d been in an abusive home and I’m afraid I wouldn’t be what she needed. Besides, I really want a kitten who can grow up with my love and attention. Any suggestions from those who live near me? I’m willing to travel to get the right cat.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe
