:anjali:
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Was expecting to be typing condolences right now. This turned out much better!

We have an expression in this country, relating to the smallness of houses and rooms...
'Too small to swing a cat"
As can be seen from the video, someone has a room that's just the right size and has the right equipment to go with it!
Ah dear, it made me laugh!
Poor cat!
Thanks for sharing, Tilt!

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.
- Sutta Nipata 3.725
