Notes About The Poem

Lessons From a Dog

(Pema the intrepid, 2017)

Lessons From a Dog 

Relax the trying
To do
Or become
And simply be
Aware, alert
And always ready
For what’s to come.

Without effort
There is
Supreme accomplishment.

I love dogs...they are so non-judgemental, unless they sense you are a complete asshole. But what about cats?

Well cats are more nuanced - like humans - they can go both ways.
