My boy is huuuuge and as sweet as can be. This morning he taught me for the hundredth time to be brave and patient and take myself less seriously.
Spiritual Sleuthing
Sherlock sits somnolently in the spotlight
Of brilliant morning sun-
Until an orange fur fluff catches his eye
And he leaps head over heals to bring it down.
Such a vigilant sleuth, in sooth.
When last did I leap head over heels?
I will wait for a spiritbeam to burst
Through this hungry chink in my soul
Then spring into action like a gangly tween
Desperately tumbling toward her one true BFF.
Such a rollercoaster, this thing we call the Spiritual Path.

Thanks, Rita, for this delightful pondering triggered by your feline friend. I’ve heard from others that they experienced their pets as their spiritual teachers.

Oh amen. Wish I had poetic words to tell the lessons of life I’m learning from my Zoe.
