Memory Presence and Possibility

There are objects that pass through our hands as possessions and then there are those rare things that seem to arrive carrying a story.

These three small green cats came to me without explanation. No ancient manuscript accompanied them. No certificate revealed their purpose. Yet the moment I set them together upon the table, they seemed less like ornaments and more like companions waiting patiently to be remembered.

An old tale came to mind.

Long ago, when the world was still young and the boundaries between dream and waking were thin, there existed a hidden valley known as the Threshold of Echoes. It was said that every soul who sought wisdom would eventually find their way there.

But the valley possessed a secret.

No gate marked its entrance or road led to its heart just an opening in which three cats watched with keen eyes .

They were not your usual mythic guardians . Not dragons or wizards , but they were mischieface looking cats carved from living stone.

The First Cat was called Memory.

Its task was to guard the stories of those who came before. When travellers approached, it would look into their hearts and reveal the forgotten lessons hidden within their own lives. Many turned away at this point, for remembering can be hard and realisation especially when unlocked suddenly very paintul.

The Second Cat was called Presence.

It watched the narrow path that wound between yesterday and tomorrow. Those who met its gaze could no longer hide behind regrets or hopes. They were required to stand fully within the moment they occupied and consciously move forward.

The Third Cat was called Possibility.

It waited beyond the others where the valley opened beneath the stars. To those who had passed the first two guardians, it showed the paths not yet taken and the futures still waiting to be chosen.

Together they watched over the Threshold of Echoes.

Three feline stone Gate keepers , their task not to stop people from entering, but to bring awareness to the random traveller that wisdom cannot be given it must be entered consciously.

The old storytellers claimed that the cats would occasionally leave the hidden valley and wander the world disguised as small carvings of green stone. They would appear in antique shops, forgotten drawers, market stalls and collections. Most people saw only decorative figures.

A few sensed something more and for those people, the cats served as a reminder.

Remember where you have come from.

Be present where you are and mindful of where you are going.

Three simple lessons from three silent guardians, stretching patiently upon a shelf until someone is ready to hear their story.
