Posting Assi's painting yesterday with the two young men struggling to learn to yield in their ridiculously long stances, both staring desperately at the cat for inspiration, I remembered something my teacher once told me: a sure way to learn softness-listening-yielding is to own and regularly handle an affectionate cat. Watching him with his cats is a lesson in itself. Like he says, "These animals are so pure, the only thing they know is connexion. I can only strive to be as good as they."
