Often I find myself wondering, damn, why can't we talk to them, why can't we make them listen! There is something wrong with the way things are; the way the rain falls all at once, the urgent feel of the wind, the pounding heat from the sun.
Something about that woman across the road is different. I think maybe she can hear me. I'm just going to sit here staring at her day after day, for weeks, even months, until she gets the message. I have to make her understand that only because she has speech and is not confined to the field, she has the power to change things.
What I wouldn't give for power like that...

We have special talents, but they are more useful only if we use them wisely.This work looks interesting with good colors
Cat, this is awesome. If I picked up a novel that began with these words, I would buy it on the spot. That's not to discredit what you've done here. No way! I love it. I just mean that I am instantly intrigued. The flow is beautiful. The rhythm is beautiful. And the message is beautiful! Fantastic picture.
Great pic Cat. Fabulous. Did you do your magic with photo shop on this one?
And sometimes we crave not to take the aid of words for one to understand. But mostly it remains a distant dream.
Loved it.
Keep sending vibes, Cat, and don't ever give up. I can communicate with dragonflies and frogs, so there you go! LOL! (I'm serious!)
Love your dreamy picture. It's just perfect!!!
I thought the same. This is really high writing, across species, so it seems. I really like this.
Excellent work, as always, Cat!
Loved reading this one!
Cat, once again I visit your blog and I can't decide what I want to do first--search the art some more or read your compelling words again. So I do both, several times. And I still can't decide which I like more!
Very, very cool.
Dammmm, this is good. And I'm on the run. But I DO wanna comment. This is GoooooD!
I love this point of view and I cannot believe you could do that picture. It is fantastic! How on earth??!!
This is one of my favorites!!! That painting is so impressive. Have you ever had an art show? I think I remember you having one a while back. Is your work for sale?
What a great message. I love that you have this relationship of sorts...(in real life) with "the messenger." - LOL
And we have to ask ourselves...what if?
I agree. This is one of my favorites. Please keep the wonderful words and beautiful pictures coming...

Mojo, so very true!
Julie, thank you! That really means a lot to me. (glow glow) Perhaps I'll make him a character in the novel idea I'm bouncing around in my head. :-)
Aniket-Yup, Photoshop magic indeed. You know, that Llama's been hanging out in that spot for a very long time, and you just gotta wonder what he's thinking! :-)
Marion-Oh, the conversations I have with birds. Bumblebees too. Both birds and bumblebees are attracted to me with an almost Disney quality. So far no one has landed on my shoulder. :-)
Christopher-I had a feeling you would. :-) Something just told me...
Calli-Thanks sis!
BrosR, Thanks!
Jennifer! I'm always so thrilled to see you when you come round. I miss your blog. :-(
Karen, thanks! Just a few Photoshop tricks up my sleeve. It's amazing what you can do in the digital realm, heh heh.
K, That Llama lives across the road from me in that field I'm always painting (see the last post). His friends are all horses, he's the only llama. He likes the corner of the field closest to me, so I talk to him a lot. He has a horse best friend and they are often together, just standing there, being. SOOO CUTE.
I did have three photos in a fundraising auction a few months back, but I've yet to do a real show. Perhaps this year will be the time for that... :-) Thanks for the vote of confidence, it really helps me combat the self doubt creature that lives within.
PD-Tony, thanks. I will! :-)
What you did with your painting is just magical Cat. It's awesome!
I often wonder what animals think. Your Llama is lucky to have you visiting him regularly.
Do whatever is in your power to bring a smile to his handsome face. :-D
Cat, you could easily parlay stuff like that into Stephen King-like stories. What an imagination!
And the graphic, to be proud of...
Thank you!
I'm glad I can one day say, "We had coffee together long ago--well, Cat had coke!"
on some level, we do communicate, for sure. love your painting!
Hi Catvibe,
I think that your blog has a vivid feeling to it and I forget that I am sitting in front of my laptop while visting it. Good vibes!
Your texts flow effortlessly and the themes are very interesting. Your photos too, awesome!
Oh, that painting is glorious! My kids love it, too!
How often I feel like the llama or alpaca in the field. Wishing for more than what I am and not being able to communicate those wishes and wants. But then I always come back around to understand I have grass and sun and rain, even the occasional haircut. If my needs in a field are met then I must also have some power too.
Thank you for you kind words. They are much appreciated.
Be Well CatVibe.

I especially like the tree in the recesses of the image. Like a second skin.
I agree with Julie, Cat. Your wonderful spirit comes through your work so clearly.
What can I say? If my Mama were a Llama.
Cat, your powerful and looking oh so worldly and wise Lama is saying important things to me. Suspect I'll be returning hoping to get the message it's trying to convey. Love the colors you used.
You should have seen your mom yesterday. I have never seen her looking more beautiful. I don't think I shall ever forget turning around and seeing my beautiful friend smiling at me. I'll send you details in an email.
Cat, your reality is so amazing!
1. Thank you for your kind comment.
2. Love this picture and writing.
3. It was my great pleasure to have met you over that wonderful coffee and sweet treat - even in the midst of that torrential downpour - and in the dark.
But we weren't dark - we were glowing like crazy with lots and lots of spirit. :)
Prayer Girl
So true...it leaves us pondering...very nice...
that nails it well, cat :)
