All That Is Ever Needed

Rooster crowing

Dove cooing

Blackbirds announcing their flight overhead

Chimes gracefully singing

Tea light swaying

All are part of the rhythm of the morning.

I open my arms to make space for the strawberry blonde cat

who wants to climb onto my lap,

and he settles in.

This one gesture of open receptivity reminds me that

hospitality is all that is ever needed.
