Hi, I’m Fig, I’m a cat. I don’t chase lasers anymore. I don’t nap quite as much either. These days, I sit. And watch.

Same spot. Same time. Every day. A stretch of blank wall where the ticking clock lives. My human used to find it strange, until the day everything shifted.

Here are 3 slow, silent lessons I’ve offered, about time, presence, and what’s hidden in plain sight:

1. Stillness Reveals What Rushing Hides

While you race past moments, I stay still. I see light move, dust dance, shadows shift. There is so much to notice, if you stop long enough to see it. The truth is, life doesn’t speed up, it’s our attention that wanders.

3. Meaning Isn’t Always Loud

I never meowed at the wall. I just waited. And that changed everything. Sometimes, your quietest habits hold your deepest truths. Don’t ignore what you return to, again and again. There’s a reason you're drawn there.

Final Thought from Fig

You don’t need to chase meaning. You just need to sit with it. One quiet spot. One moment at a time. Watch long enough, and even a wall can teach you something.
