summer communion
drink it up for all its worth
red hot summer life
we have a wise cat.
he stops to smell the roses,
drinks deeply from the well of present living.
he is a the quintessential king of self care,
napping,
bathing,
purring,
stretching,
and then it's time to find me in the garden for another cool drink.
meanwhile this earth keeps right on spinning
and i say,
kiss the joy as it flies.
welcome to
where we gather on fridays through all the seasons.

Good lessons from your furry friend. We should be so wise. The leaves here up North are in a quandary. It's been so cool and cloudy they think it's November.
Lovely way to start the day here with haiku friends.
Peace

our furry friends have much wisdom to teach and remind us of when we forget what we know in our hearts:-)

This reminded me of drinking from the hose in summer when I was a child and how GOOD that water tasted! Thanks for sharing your, always beautiful, words and love!

How much do I love kitties???
So very much!
I love this picture ♥
My kitty is stuck drinking from puddles,
as all it seems to do is rain and rain.
"Kiss the joy as it flies"

I wonder shy a drink from the hose tastes so much more refreshing than from a glass. I love this photo!

Ah, yes, the joy flies...so we might as well kiss it in passing!
