9H30am. Laurel is late this morning. I pray for his safe swift return this morning. And for no one else to be feeding him.

May he be unharmed and safe and sound and unstolen and not trapped.

UPDATE

At 9H30am, I went to look for him on the street and he was far away: in the church yard, where coyotes hang out at dawn and even during the broad day light. He came when called and I carried him home. He ate. Thank you Buddha Amhitabba for protecting Laurel every day he is out or not. Om mani peme hung
