A Personal Tao

Alive as a Cat..

Rio

Rio the cat, sits in my lap
paws on desk as I type
paws reaching out, out to keys

Cats can't type
He doesn't care
Not this cat

Just seeking connection
like everyone else 
Following leads:
knowing hands 
are the connection 

Just reach out as I do
in reality, not electronically
A lesson to be learn
from my cat

To reach out 
Is to touch 
In reality         

We can learn so much by just paying attention to the wisdom of life itself.
To be alive is to reach out.
