Bobcats only Eat Bobs

Bobcats only Eat Bobs

My Hubby, “Bob” saw a Bobcat a few days ago, and told our daughter K that Bobcats only eat Bobs. Rather than being scared, K loved this concept and asked for the story ‘again and again’ of Bobcats eating Bobs.

So I made up a rambling story of the Bobcat walking through the woods asking each animal their name. - To the Squirrel, “Is your name Bob?” And to the Bird, “Is your name Bob?” And the bird replied, “No my name is Robin.”

The Bobcat was forced to wander long and far looking for food named Bob.

Bobcat then found a rabbit loudly munching grass . “Bobobobobob”.

The next sound heard was “Uum yumm yummy yumm yumm. Furry Tails!”

Luckily, my Hubby was in the car and was able to drive off quickly before Bobcat asked his name.

And K wasn’t scared at all but wanted the story twenty-seven times before bed last night.

P.S. I dreamed of rabbits and dinner and good luck charms gone bad last night, but K slept soundly and asked for the furry tails story again this morning. I’m not sure of the spiritual lesson but I’m sure this story must have one so I’ve posted it here.

Other comments sent via email in response to a survey about this film:

An 83-year- old woman begins to discover her freedom. Living alone for her is a vital part of her life.

Evocative, haunting, mystical.

Such passion, a delight in her process and her life, a nostalgia for New Mexico, the desert in general, the mountains, and its people.

How art can overtake a soul. Better yet, how art that’s already in the soul can spring free when allowed to do so.
The presentation of a woman artist who discovers her inner artist way to late in her life. A woman who accepts herself for who she is and for what she can yet become. It’s her world and she’s in charge.

This film is getting rave reviews from women everywhere and yet it is not just a woman’s film, men also say about this film:

“I wanted to hate it, and acted snarley when it came on our TV set, but my wife made me sit down to watch. Within a few minutes I was hooked. Ann is inspirational to all of us, including men!”
- Chris,

“When it was all over I just sat and wished for more. How can I meet this wonderful woman?”
- Robert,

(These men didn’t want their last names used on the web for fear of looking “Artsy”!)

“Woman as Butterfly” is a truly motivational documentary film of the life of Ann Saint John Hawley.

This is the creative journey of a mother of six who finds herself in her 70’s with her children and lifelong partner gone. But instead of shrinking from life, she blossoms, relishing her freedom and coming into her own. Ann is aging very gracefully and without a hint of regret about raising her six children and looking after her dying husband, she now commits this time late in her life to herself and her art. Ann dances Butoh, paints, and has embraced printmaking. Woman as Butterfly is a great inspirational gift for mom, women, sister and others interested in aging issues, Butoh dance, painting, art and inspirational, motivational women. Now in her 80’s, she paints, dances and drums, and through her actions, motivates us to follow our own dreams. This film is a great inspirational gift for mom, sister, friends, those nearing retirement, women over 50. This present for yourself or others is available on VHS, Video, DVD.
