Carol DM
This post marks 200 days of the challenge. I have two rescued cats, for a few years now. Dude is the most photogenic. Brendel not so much. I captured the Dude in one of his special spots in the screen room yesterday, on a pillow, watching the birds. I want to come back as a cat in my next life, if that is possible. Who knows if there will even be a next life. But one can hope. I want to be in a home like the Dude. And of course it would be cool to have Dustin there. As long as I am dreaming, dream big, right? A copycat of my cats’ lives would be nice. Nothing bothers either of them. Well maybe if they don’t get enough attention, which is rare. No worries or stress. A copycat life of my cats…with Dustin.

I do not believe in reincarnation with humans, but animals I really do not know lol. Bad things happen to us all. God is just there to help us through it. I heard from little on that Satan causes the evil things to happen not God. Just my belief!
I am joking when I say I want to come back as a cat. But if it were possible, it would be a great life.
nOT ME LOL! i DO NOT WANT TO COME BACK AS AN ANIMAL LOL cAT FOOD MUST TASTE BAD LOL
I am talking about the laid back life style stress-free life they live. No cares and no worries.
Yes, but some cats get abusive owners, and you would not want that. Yes I do know what you mean though.
There is a legend that dog people talk about. They call it the rainbow bridge. That is where your dogs will wait for you, until they time you return. Leash in mouth ready for a walk. There is much beyond our world that we still don’t understand.
Yes I am familiar Doc. I lost many dogs over the years. The things I have no answers for are always the ones that I think about it seems.
That is what makes you human! Sometimes we have to think about the things we cannot solve!
I know I know but answers would be nice. Overthinking is a disease I believe. 🙂
I would like to believe… I mean the belief in reincarnation has been around since ancient shamanism and the Egyptian, Greek, Hindu, Buddhist and Roman religions. It is present in most Eastern religions (Vedism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism) and the native American, African and Oceanic indigenous religions. The belief in reincarnation has survived as a heretic or unofficial position even within the Judeo-Christian religions (Christianity, Judaism and Islam) despite not being officially accepted.
I would rather believe in an afterlife of some kind, not necessarily reincarnation. I just want to see Dustin again, however that has to happen. Not sure what to believe.
Oh yeah, I forgot about going someplace else in the spirit world. As you can tell I am not very religious.
I used to be before losing Dustin. Now I don’t know what to believe.
I like the story that you shared on this post.
Thanks, I appreciate your comment and visit.
Very thought-provoking post and a gorgeous photo!
I thought so too Ellie, the post and the photo, appreciate your continued support.
You’re lucky if you can get a snap of Brendel’s shadow…
You are right, and I should feel honored to do that. 🙂
I dunno if it is an honor, but it is a rare occurrence (even at Owl Creek Ridge)
Can you guess my answer to your question? 80% of my age I have used to explore, understand, and be aware of it.
Yes you do. I have to believe Albert, if there is not something after we die, I will never see my son.
I understand your reason, Carol. It is your call that takes you to this path, as everyone on this path has their respective vocations.
Thank you for telling me that, it is what I believe. Some don’t understand or agree and that is ok, it is my path. You are the best.
Pleasure is mine, Carol.
I don’t believe in an afterlife. I so so so wish I did. I used to hold strong Christian beliefs until I had an epiphany in my late twenties, when I realised that religion is (as Karl Marx so aptly described it) the opium of the people. Opium is so tempting – it takes away all the pain…
I know what you mean about Christian beliefs. I am not even talking Christian right now. Just beliefs. Can’t we have one without the other? That is the crossroads I have been at for way too many years.
It’s a hard place to be, that crossroads, Carol. I feel for you.
Strange, I’m a believer, and I do not think it exists.
I am not sure exactly what I believe, I am on the fence.
I want to believe I will see my son again, that is what I live for, just now sure how it will happen.
I kind of believe in reincarnation … but I was told you’ve to do lots of good deeds to be reincarnation into a “good body” (like human) and I’m afraid I would turn into a cockroach (and I would hate myself and never look into a mirror)!!
Oh my, don’t say that! Think positive thoughts. None of us really know what will happen when we die.
Haha… I was just joking when I say that… I don’t think I’m so mean I’ll become a cockroach but I can’t say I didn’t do anything bad… It’s so hard to measure… And yeah, we’ll never know what will happen after death and I don’t wish to know it too soon.
Anyway, yes, THINK POSITIVE!! Thanks for the reminder 🙂
