A 'Fraidy Cat

Woman With A Cat, Pierre-Auguste Renoir

from 1989’s FTE, Vol I, No 5

A beautiful but timid and very dehydrated kitten came upon a pond.  Her thirst was intense but, mistaking her own reflection for another, she saw it as a threat. Frightened nearly to death, she didn't drink, but her thirst was excruciating.  Finally she disregarded the reflection and dared to lap the water, whereupon, of course, the reflection disappeared, her thirst was quenched, conflict ended, and balance was restored...

When her necessity was increased,

And her need greater than her want,

And she was Free To Experience,

Her difficulties were removed.
