Life is but a Nap

Sweet orange furball,
He wanders in the garden,
Chasing balls of string.

Paws jerk, whiskers twitch,
Caught a tail of feathers bright
Sardines dance and sing.

In his slumber’s flow,
Reality drifts away,
Life is but a nap.

Cats dream about endless yums, catnip and ruling the world, not necessarily in that order.

Are you familiar with the Ekhart Tolle quote, “I have lived with several zen masters ~ all of them cats”?

No, but I thank you for bringing that to my attention. He is right! 🙂

Hi Ana, I’m a big fan of Eckhart but have never read this quote. I could not visualize ET surrounded by cats. I learn something/s each day. I love the quote, though. Thank you for sharing.

Reply
Ana Daksina April 21, 2025 - 6:14 am

Haha, I had no problem with the visualization! You do know he spent two years homeless on a park bench before he wrote “The Power of Now,” right? Glad you enjoyed the quote!

This is great! You have observed really carefully your cats, I think you can read their minds or they can speak to you in some way. This dreaming is so real and you have written it in a poem. ”Sardines dance and sing” I love this phrase. You are really good at writing poems, you can get there that something😊The photo is very cute, I can see that your kitties are loved by you. Excellent poem Kymber👍This made me feel good and made me smile😊 Thank you for this🌺Extra cream to them😸😸😸

Kymber @booomcha April 18, 2025 - 10:52 am

Thank you, Jean. You have paid me the highest compliment with your encouraging words. I’m glad you love the phrase about the sardines. My kitties get everything they want and need. I love them so much. I’m glad you smiled; my job is done. 😀 Yes! Extra cream for them – on the way!
