...there was a flash of light and a wonderful winged cat with silver white wings appeared before you....
"Who are you?' You asked. The cat came close, dazzling and splendid, and there seemed a feeling of goodness eminating from her.
"My name is Alex. You know me..."
You shook your head. "Alex? But...you're at Rainbow Bridge..."
The Winged Cat folded her wings carefully and nosed you gently. "Not at the moment-I'm here with you. I'm here, my dear Purdie, to skip the light fantastic with you....to teach you to fly, to tell you that you can follow me."
You looked at this cat with Wonder. "I...I don't understand. What about my people?"
Alex's eyes were soft and her expression filled with joy and reverance at the same time. "You have fufilled your mission with them, this life. What you came to do, you've done, and done with Honors. It's time, my good friend, my wonderful Feline Spirit Dancer, to return home."
You shook your head. "I don't think I can. I will miss them too much...I am not ready."
Alex purred low and loud. "Purdie, everything you have wanted to do, everything that you wrote in the sand of time, before this life...it is accomplished. You chose this before you could remember. You, my loved one, will forever be remembered and loved...and you will return if you so choose...for another adventure, another lesson, for you, for your Mom....for this isn't the end, Purdie. It's simply another path that you're ready for. I assure you that you are. You, Purdie, are a Guide. I come not to show you the way...you know it...but to be your Honor Guard, your playmate as you dance beyond this atmosphere and sprinkle the night with stars. You will send them comfort and love, my deepest friend. You will shower them with every blessing and Wonder we have within our Power to offer our People. And you will as you place your paw on mine, know there is nothing, nothing you cannot do."
You hesitated, but something was changing, there was a feeling that you were already transformed. Slowly, you stretched out your paw, and placed it on the Cat that now once more stretched out her wings. And as you did, light shot out of the sky, and flashed bright...and there before you was a Rainbow.
"Come" Alex said, and enfolded you beneath her wing, and you stretched out and gasped for you saw...you saw with wonder...that your own wings were there, golden and bright, and your whiskers were golden..and as you breathed you felt the pull of your muscles in the wings, and the nudging of Alex as she urged you forward and you leapt upward toward the Rainbow.
"Look" Alex whispered and you turned to where she was gazing, back over her shoulder. And you saw below you, far below you, was the earth. And in the blue of the Ozone, tiny sparks of light glittered, and grew tiny wings, turning into fireflies, and some bright butterflies to flutter back to earth.
"Your blessings, my dear." Alex soothed. "Your blessings....for your family there."
"Oh, Alex' A crystal tear spilled from your eye, and dropped eartward. And as you watched, it turned into a tiny moving kitten, with wings, that flew back toward earth.
"Your legacy, Purdie. For we send our people comfort...til we are ready to return again."
And you turned and purred as the Cat Spirit at your side led you onward, back to the other side of Rainbow Bridge.
For Purdie and her family from Orange Ruffy.
The Greatest of Us are Not Far Away....
