Purr

she purrs ... contented
I feel stress leave my body
the sound of her purr
is like the rain on the roof
or ocean lapping the shore

Dear Francine, how I remember the stress diminishing quickly when Katy Cat sat purring on my lap. I like the way you compare the purr to the peaceful sounds of rain and the ocean. I hope you are doing well, my friend. Love, Carolyn
