Got fireworks in your area? In the United States, in neighborhoods like my dad's, the Independence Day celebrations sound like warfare.
I can't enjoy the noisy ones like I used to, because now I am aware of the suffering they cause to other animals (and some humans). Happily, silent fireworks are also an option, and are being used in more places, so we can encourage those where we are.
If fireworks are a challenge for your animal companions, try tapping this year! Joan Ranquet has a video you can follow.

I am accompanying my father on a bucket-list trip to Europe, and sneaking in a couple of days beforehand to visit a site of pilgrimage: Montserrat, a thousand-year-old monastery in Spain.
Behold this excellent Benedictine-colored hospitality cat, who came right up to the door of my hotel! What was I supposed to do? Apparently, I was supposed to miss my first choice of train, because that is what I did.
This cat's family doesn't have a history in Montserrat, so someone may have brought them there. The cat showed me images of going back in the evening to visit someone who lives in an apartment nearby, and has a chair for laps.
This was a very grounding cat. 🧡

I am grateful for the faithfulness of Pope Francis. Here are some important thoughts from him, shared with me by colleague Lorrin Maughan .
His passionate voice for animals, and against and all "tyrannical anthropocentrism" was a blessing.

Bella, in the kitchen window. We are working through the integration of kitten Maxine into the household. Currently, it's taking a lot of management:they like to take turns having the run of the house while the other one hides.

I awoke today, thinking of Farlow, not realizing it was the first anniversary of his death.
Our friend Indrani Das of loved Farlow about as much as I did, and had a bond with him, through animal communication and energy work, that transcended time and space. She was holding us in Reiki meditation when the vet came for his euthanasia visit, and she wept with me after he died.
One of the poems/songs of Rabindranath Tagore, beloved poet and author of India, came to her after his death. She has interpreted it here for us, and given permission for me to share it. Her version so perfectly describes the essence of Farlow that we both experienced and still carry within.
Maxine, the new kitten, has a tabby-on-white coat pattern that reminds me a little of Farlow's, and took shelter for her first weeks in Farlow's old Security Closet hiding place. I have been asking him (now part of my cloud of witnesses) for help with her.
Poem text:
There is death,
And sorrow too.
And there is peace,
And joy too.
The eternal stirs, awake, alive—
And truths with promises revive.
Life flows on, a ceaseless stream,
The sun still warms, the stars still gleam.
Spring returns with her radiant song,
Reminding us we all belong.
The waves may fall, yet rise anew,
Leaves drift to earth, and buds break through.
Nothing is lost, nothing will fade,
In timeless grace, all things are made.
It is this stillness, vast and deep,
Where I will rest, and memory keep.

Adopting someone---whether human or another species---is usually an exhausting process, from what I've observed. Often delightful, often challenging, and you don't get your usual amount of sleep.
Young Maxine, here, has been reminding me that everyone has to adjust at their own pace, and it doesn't pay to try to rush that. I need to wait until she is ready ... to come out of the closet (literally), to try out a new room, to get down from the new perch she's discovered. In these conditions, trust grows when trust is offered.
She made it through her spay surgery a week and a half ago, tore off her cone within an hour of getting home, and has been trying to chew her way out of onesies since. Three days of onesie-wearing to go!
Turns out she's quite nocturnal, too. 😄
I spend a lot of time with a new household member, noticing their reactions, their interests, their preferences. I make mistakes, and then I have to apologize and give space.
It's so vitally important, I think, for whoever has more power (of any kind; take parents, for example) to apologize when they make a mistake! That moment becomes an opportunity for a deepened bond. It doesn't matter if the one you're apologizing to doesn't speak your language: companion animals pick up on our feelings and intentions far better than other humans usually do, as you're already aware!
It's also nice to have energy work (like Scalar Wave, Reiki, and EFT/Tapping) to help ease the adjustment for the new kitty. We're especially grateful around here for the work of Indrani Das, who pitches in to help me when I am busy.
Here's Maxine, resting after a tiring day. The wet marks and holes on her onesie are from chewing!

Last week, on the third anniversary of my mom's death, I went to pick up Maxine, here, from the veterinary hospital. She had been fished out of the lake a month ago by a guy named Max, so the hospital staff named her after him. No one claimed her and no rescue could take her, so this 9-month-old has come home with Bella and me, to see if we can make a home for her.
Maxine has Opinions, and is going to be a handful. She is also a purr monster! This is one Lenten practice I did not expect. 🧡

What a week it's been! I got home from the Bishop's Convocation on Ash Wednesday, and hit the ground running.
While I was away, the "Ministry Mondays with Meg" podcast interview I did with Meg Biddle went live. I hope you'll listen and share it! I talk about my ministry of intuitive interspecies communication/ animal communication.
My Internet connection was just starting to go bad when we did this interview; it's gotten even worse since, but at the time, there was at least a 3-second delay between Meg and me. Still, you can hear almost everything. ❤ Of course, I mention The Telepathy Tapes , although one of the connection delays cuts that off.

This FEMA-finded Home [Wildfire] Hardening project is great, but it has also meant over two months of daily noise around Bella's house. Her nerves are fried; she's lost some weight and some fur. Finally, they are mostly done and we are having a quieter day.
Environmental stimuli matter to cats---especially if they're sensitive! 🧡

Saying Yes
Anyone who knows me can tell you I’ve been talking to animals all my life, and they’ve been talking back to me. The new thing in my life right now is that I’m learning to listen better! I’m training in Animal Communication and, for good measure, Energy Healing---including Reiki, EFT, and eventually, other modalities. This means that I connect with non-human animals, without using spoken words, and discover straight from them how they feel and what they think; then I help communicate that to the people who care for them. (And you probably thought Dr. Doolittle was just a story! Well, me, too.)
My being a Lutheran pastor has everything to do with this new venture, NOT because I’ll be trying to convert you if I speak with your animal: I love interfaith and ecumenical connections, and am not bothered if you’re an atheist! It’s just that becoming a pastor taught me to recognize the pull of calling, of vocation. It always comes as a sort of invitation that sings to your soul, and calls for your whole self to respond.
About this kind of calling, Brother Roger of Taizé writes:
“One day you understood that, without your being aware of it, a ‘yes’ had already been inscribed in your innermost depths. And so you chose to go forward in the footsteps of Christ, a choice no-one can make for another. In silence, in the presence of Christ, you heard him say, ‘Come, follow me; I will give you a place to rest your heart.’ And so you are led to the audacity of a ‘yes’ that lasts until your dying breath. This ‘yes’ leaves you exposed. There is no other way.” (No Greater Love)
Brother Roger was writing about the call to a monastic life, but I think everyone is called to give their Yes in some way. It always makes you face your deepest fears, and offers your heart its deepest joy.
And my latest big Yes is this Animal Communication and Healing thing. I’m growing into it. I’m excited and scared. It’s fun, and it’s really challenging. It isn’t replacing my pastoral vocation, but it’s asking me to apply my pastoral gifts and interests in some new ways. I’ll write more about my journey into this work as I develop this page.
As I learn, you can help me: I need lots of animals to practice on, and the feedback of their people to tell me when I’m accurate or off-the-mark in my listening! Please see the “Services” offers on this page, and use the blue “Send Message” button to let me know if you’d like to sign up for a session for your furry/feathery/scaly friend. I’ll send you all the information you’ll need. Or, you can ask me any questions you want. THANK YOU.
