Day 253: Things as they are

I no longer hush
my very elderly dog
barking at people


they pass by the house
he engages with purpose
chasing them away


let every moment 
of precious singular life
be just as it is.
              Catherine Hagan

This thoughtful poem is a reminder to treasure things as they are.  And while I don't have an elderly dog, I do have a pug nose Himalayan cat. His name is Bodhi.  Tomorrow, December 8 is BODHI DAY in the Buddhist calendar.  This is the day that the Buddha was said to have become enlightened under the Bodhi Tree.  

"Let every moment of precious singular life be just as it is."   Thank you, Catherine.
