A feature of our Ruhi Class Sunday evenings on "Reflections on the Life of the Spirit" is the predictable misconduct of our cat, Mordred.
He is an old white cat who makes it his business to find someone wearing black clothing. Then, he climbs onto their lap, cirlces a few times and sits down. No consultation here, not even a glance upward. Barry wore black, so he was the hapless victim of Mordred's attention. It would appear that Barry is attempting an explanation, but Mordred, fist raised, is pressing for squatters rights.This week, like last week, little boxes were offered at the end of the lesson. The top of each silver box was indented with a star, like a Christmas tree decoration. Inside was a little packet of Earl Grey Tea, and a crystal chunk of sugar that looked like a small stalagmite. This was supposed to illustrate the custom in Iran 100 years ago, when Russian sugar and a package of tea were intended as a gift of love to a visitor.
Also pictured above are Megan and Emmy, students in the class, who giggle about everything, always get the answers correct, and offer a lot of creativity to the evening.
