a girl with a michi


a girl with a michi
asleep on her lap as she
meditates by the lake

This contented cat is the one who greeted us when we disembarked on one of the Uros Islands in Lake Titicaca. Michi is the Quechua word for cat, amazingly similar to the sound used to call a cat in French, mish mish. Camila is the daughter of Qoa, on of our Inka shaman guides. Qoa is quite accomplished in martial arts and Camilita is following in his footsteps. Here she shows the meditation aspect essential for true self-mastery, she and the cat merging in one serene unity.
