A Drawing and a Poem
A Cat’s Teachings
When I sharpened my Faber-Castell graphite pencils, my tabby cat tilted her head.
“You’re so cute,” I said.
A cat’s curiosity is quite inspiring
Given all that is transpiring,
Cats live in the present moment, and focus only on one thing at a time.
They live their lives acting at the drop of a dime.
There’s no hesitation, no matter the situation.
We can learn a lot from cats.
People always wear so many hats.
It’s time for us to lean into our curiosity, live in and focus on the present, and make decisions quicker.
There’s no need to bicker or snicker.
I’m serious about this.
You live in the moment during a kiss.
You can be present in other moments with all their components.
You can dance with your curiosity.
Have the audacity.
You can make decisions faster.
Sometimes, it’s all a blur.
But when you focus on what matters and try,
You won’t let life just pass you by.
Love,
Jessica
