We complete our year surrounded by cats and children though not necessarily in that order. The children are, for the most part, of the very small and demanding variety. A useful reminder that whatever you thought of as really important pales into insignificance at the side of their intense, all-encompassing concerns.
Just completed the maghrib prayer with a cat in attendance. A first for me, and a bit distracting. Not sure of the protocol, so I just got on with things and pretended it was business as usual. The protocol on children being around when you pray is very straightforward: you let them do what they please, even if it involves crawling all over you. A wonderfully sane way to approach the solemnity of devotion, I've always thought.
