Details

A small book about noticing.

The Way of a Cat began as notes.

Things I noticed while watching a cat. The places they lingered. What held their attention. How completely they seemed to inhabit whatever was before them.

Slowly, watching them became a way of looking at myself.

To observe without immediately judging.
To notice what was already here.
To want something, and still remain open to what arrived instead.

Observe. Study. Be.

The making

This book took its time.

Notes became poems. Poems became drawings. Drawings moved around pages. Papers were touched and compared. White space was kept when it would have been easier to fill it.

We wanted to make something quiet.

Something to read, write in, touch, carry and return to.

A book. A journal. Two pieces of art.

Made to be kept.

First Edition

Limited to 500 copies.
