It was a gray, overcast morning in Joy-Ville, and no one could figure out why. The Sun was hiding behind heavy, dark clouds, a very unusual place for him. Normally he would come out first thing every morning to start the new day. The residents of Joy-Ville were curious about his absence, but they were not concerned. You see, worry does not exist in Joy-Ville, not really. Certainly, if someone went missing or something happened that required action, the neighbors would jump in to help and figure out what could be done. But concern about the future was not a big priority for the town and hadn’t been for hundreds and hundreds of years. Centuries ago, the residents of Joy-Ville made a decision. They decided to change the way they lived. They wanted a place of peace and harmony, as they were very tired of the anger, fear, and violence around them. They even re-named their town to call it “Joy-Ville”, to remind them each day of what they intended to create together. And because of these intentions and actions, Joy-Ville became a beautiful place. It was filled with green rolling hills, flowers, and trees everywhere, and vibrant colors, almost like cartoons in their clarity and brilliance. The vibration was high and the air clean and nourishing. A good day in Joy-Ville just made you feel, well, joyful and also content; you couldn’t help it. The energy was very positive, and things were calm. Life was good. The beings who lived in Joy-Ville did not worry; they did what they loved and followed their life purpose. They worked in jobs that provided great satisfaction and generally had an easy and fulfilling way of life. Joy-Ville residents lived a long time with few illnesses and spent a lot of time in meditation. They learned from each other and especially from those who were much older and wiser. The residents in this land lived in harmony with nature. In fact, they even worked to communicate with the animals, flowers, and trees as part of their daily life. It was a wonderful way to live. Even with all this happiness, the people of Joy-Ville liked routine and knowing what would happen next. They enjoyed going about their long, easy, peaceful lives with no surprises and few changes. So a gray, overcast morning where the Sun did not come out and say “hello” felt a little awkward for most of the residents, because it changed up their day. Except one. She didn’t mind change one bit. She craved adventure, so a different start to the day was refreshing. Her name was Cosmic KittyCosmic Kitty (CK to her friends) was a very special being, with more curiosity than most of her friends and neighbors. This lovely girl had sparkling green eyes, mops of curly bright red hair and pink freckles on her pale face. She was like any other young girl, playful and full of life. However, she had a few unusual characteristics as well. For example, her head was shaped like a heart (to match her inner spirit) and she also had short black whiskers that protruded out from her round black button nose. Cosmic Kitty stood on two legs, as a typical person does. She had two arms, two hands, a torso, a neck and all the normal parts that come with walking upright and talking and living in a “human” world. Except for her heart-shaped head and whiskers, she would look pretty normal - in a typical “humanoid” way. What was different about Cosmic Kitty was her energy. You could see it. Her blue and green and gold aura surrounded her. You could literally see the parts of her that were more than her physical body. For those not familiar with the term, the aura is the shell of energy that surrounds all beings. It is the energy we create and send out to others. It is part of the natural essence of who we are. The color of something or someone’s aura can tell you how they feel, their purpose in life, what kind of spirit or being they are and many other things. Most of us don’t see this aura. But Cosmic Kitty’s aura was shiny and bright for all to see! This was normal in Joy-Ville, as everything had an energy field that could be seen by others. Her family, her friends, the trees, mountains, animals – everything. The color and quality of the aura were just part of what everyone saw on each other. It was just as normal as looking at someone’s teeth or noticing the color of their eyes. When someone described another in her world, it usually included a description of the energy color that surrounded them. So Cosmic Kitty would be described as the girl with red hair, green eyes, a heart-shaped head, whiskers and a blue and green aura. It was just the usual thing to do. Cosmic Kitty loved living in Joy-Ville. She and her friends would play games, meditate and study. They would gather together with Mr. Tortoise, one of the oldest and wisest of beings, and they would be amazed and awestruck as he spoke of far-off places and tales of times very long ago when their ancestors walked the land. The young pupils would listen intently, absorbed in every word, as Mr. Tortoise spoke of times when the energy in their land was not so positive, people did not always get along, and they actually had something called “violence”! Cosmic Kitty and her friends had a hard time imagining people arguing, much less hurting each other! They didn’t understand where that kind of behavior might come from and why it seemed necessary. They also heard stories of how other lands are out beyond their world, and how time does not really exist. The students did not always believe every story Mr. Tortoise told, but it often made for a fun afternoon and lively discussion of learning. When not studying, playing with her friends, meditating or doing other activities, Cosmic Kitty would often walk through the hills near her home and talk to the flowers, birds and other animals who lived around her. And they would usually speak back, in whatever way they could. She was also friends with the sun and moon, naming them “Sunny” and “Moon Man”. Cosmic Kitty had a very special gift of communicating with nature. She was able to understand, feel and hear other beings more so than other residents of Joy-Ville. So when she was out walking, it was not unusual to see her in deep conversation with a small animal, a tree or even looking up at the sky speaking to the sun. She had a very special talent that she practiced every day. And today was no exception. She decided to go for a walk, even though her friend Sunny had not yet come out. As morning turned into lunchtime, Sunny finally decided to emerge. “Good afternoon, Sunny!” said CK, as her friend began to shine from around some nearby clouds. In a deep, caring voice that only CK could hear and understand, Sunny replied, “CK, how are you? Lovely to see you today!” Cosmic Kitty loved living in Joy-Ville.

Glad you got some rest!” CK exclaimed. Sunny winked at her as she walked past, showing that he knew she was off for a good walk and perhaps an adventure, as she had a habit of doing. |
