The Inspired Cat 🐈
******************
My cat and me
Sat down to tea
Our bones warmed by the fire
My friend the cat
He said to me
What is your hearts desire?
I told my cat of this and that
But what it did transpire
Is that what I'd wish
Is to worry less
All worry to expire.
The cat he took a quizzical look
And searched around for a certain book
He found It hidden within a nook and with a long deep breath he took.
He said, now friend you have to see
That life's not easy for you or me
But the problem is you use your brain
Too much of that you'll go insane.
You must listen to your body talk
And the feelings when you move or walk
That funny feeling in your gut or the tingling happening in your foot.
The animal nation don't sit and worry
We live in peace don't rush or hurry
We know when real danger is around
We smell, we feel, listen for sound.
We fight or flight
when the time is right
But inbetween we pause
We know that rest
Is really best
And those are nature's laws.
Stick with me and you will see
How to live life in the now
You'll worry less
No need to guess
For I will show you how.
So my cat and me
Finished our tea
Stoked the embers of the fire
I went to bed with a restful head
His words they did inspire
