Lessons Learned from Cats
Stress can not survive
playtime with a cat.
Each encounter its own
time of renewal and brighter days,
so much joy and gratitude in that.
Sometimes I only observe,
watching them take a break from hunting,
telling me they own the backyard,
basking a bit in the morning sun,
urging me to smile, and that’s not hard.
Cats are grateful for an audience,
especially when at silly play
with their alternative mice,
appreciative of genuine warm-heartedness,
a human who is more than food-giving nice.
They constantly remind me to become
someone worthy of their friendship,
letting go of ego, power, pretense,
inspiring me to live a life of
incisive simplicity and common sense,
and when I meet a new cat anywhere,
no matter where I might go,
offering a hand to nuzzle,
remembering to say hello.
