A Day In the Life of Buddha Cat

Each morning, when I first awake; a daily vigil, I will take. I arch my back and I stretch out long; this helps my body to grow strong. To my box, I take a walk; release a stench, in lime-like chalk. I dine in silence, savoring; the tasty flavors…mouth-watering. Upon my favorite stool, I sit; paws tucked beneath, belly and chest. I chant…me’om…me’om…me’om; ‘till I transcend, my physical home. I am a Buddha-cat, you see And a Bodhisattva, I hope, to be.

I have a feeling that you are a yoga instructor, which comes through to me in this poem. I used to teach yoga before school to three other teachers. I had forgotten this until I read this poem. Thank you my friend for a wake up call today! Love this one.

You know, I do do yoga. Started late though; about 12 years ago. My cat does a little with me but, she does cat yoga.
