The Simple Presence of Gratitude
The low-pitched rumbling on my lap this morning
is a gesture of love.
The muscular blondie from whom the sound is emanating
is happy to be here.
Nothing else is required but simple presence.
I did not have to say a certain thing
or give luxurious pets
or sit in an inviting posture.
The purring evidence of his contentment originates from within
and is based on gratitude.
Cats are fantastic! They are such lovely, warm, and sweet companions.
