  • Eucharist, Saint Francis Day
  • Animals in Church
  • My dear cat Felix
  • Blind, deaf, cancer
  • In my lap
  • As I presided at the service
  • He was reveling
  • Being held, stroked
  • Being loved
  • At one point
  • He swung his head back
  • Stretching, reveling
  • The yumminess
  • Sheer delight
  • The joy
  • Rubbing his head
  • Against my vestments
  • Against my body
  • In the midst of liturgy
  • Playful
  • Oblivious to distraction
  • Present only
  • To fun, stretching
  • Being loved
  • Held, stroked
  • Am I oblivious to distraction?
  • Present to being loved
  • Having fun, being held
  • Being stretched, stroked
  • To concentrate
  • On only the important
  • Chiefly, that I am loved
  • By God and so many
  • By Felix, St Felix
  • Patron Saint of Reveling"] Text[1]=["Tsunamis, earthquakes and floods

    by Toki Miyashina","
  • The Lord is my Pace Setter, I shall not rush,
  • He makes me stop and rest for quiet intervals,
  • He provides me with images of stillness,
  • Which restore my serenity.
  • He leads me in ways of efficiency,
  • through calmness of mind; and his guidance is peace.
  • Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day,
  • I will not fret, for his presence is here.
  • His timelessness, his all-importance will keep me in balance.
  • He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity,
  • by anointing my head with his oils of tranquility,
  • My cup of joyous energy overflows.
  • Surely harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruit of my hours,
  • For I shall walk in the pace of my Lord,
