~MY BOX OF LIFE~A Very Important Meme!

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

~ Mary Oliver~ (Thank you Luxor for posting the purrrrfect quote for my meme:)

I have never been a cat of many possessions, I do not crave them. Silk and satin or velvet beds interest me not. Content with a grocery sack or a discarded frying pan I quietly nap the days away, sometimes even in my litter box. Crystal food dishes and Staffordshire water bowls are stacked in the corner cupboard. A paper plate and Tupperware water dish suit me just fine. They hold a basic menu of dry crusty crunchies while my pantry fills with untouched, undesirable, unwanted gourmet stinky delights. My drawer full of fancy toys gathers the dust of my daydreams. I am just a plain old cat...and that is that!

So what do I place inside my BOX OF LIFE?

I place the extra lives given up for me by my dearest kitty friends.

I place the love and purrrrayers they showered me with while I was so very sick last month.

I place the tender feeling of a human touch. Happiness is a cat, a cup of coffee and a good book in a cozy parlor.

I place the ray of warm golden Spring sunshine I sleep in on my pillow on the window seat.
I place the sultry Summer evening the beans and I spend listening to the cricket concerto out on my patio.
I place the sweet scented Autumn breeze...it beckons me, time to come indoors.

I place the frosty Winter night I curled tight into moms arms under the feather bed.
I place moms poem penned lovingly after I purrrred to the silent dance of falling snow flakes.

~~A MID WINTER NIGHT'S DREAM~~2004

Why night so light

Oh ground so bright,

In the quietness, the still,

LISTEN...

A nocturnal opus

Forms under the covers,

A crescendo of contentness,

From her soft sweet purrrrrrrrrr....

I place the silver tear drops mom cried for Henry the VIII, our King of gentleness.

I place the kitchen faucet...there is magic in it...I love to see it fall down onto my sandpaper tongue.

So come and go the SEASONS in my kitty cat life. Now comes the winter. I am content to lay by the fire and purr as the magic of love enfolds all around me. My life is complete because I have found you. My heart is full because I have placed you all in it....Love always Miss Peach
