The Cat Who Chased Its Tail
The Tail: A Parable of Passion
"A young kitten spent every waking hour chasing his own tail. He believed that if he could only catch it, he would possess eternal joy. An old cat watched and said: "Your tail is already yours. Stop chasing it, and it will follow you wherever you go.""
Core Spiritual Concept
Presence vs. Pursuit
The kitten, named Spark, would spin until he was dizzy and sick. He saw his tail as a separate prize, a fleeting ghost. The old cat, Jasper, lay in the sun, his own tail twitching contentedly. "Happiness is not a catch," Jasper purred. "It is a consequence of walking your own path."
