their eyes are more beautiful than ours


My Cats


I know. I know.
they are limited, have different
needs and 
concerns.
but I watch and learn from them. 
I like the little they know, 
which is so 
much. 
they complain but never worry,
they walk with a surprising dignity. 
they sleep with a direct simplicity that
humans just can’t understand.
their eyes are more 
beautiful than our eyes. 
and they can sleep 20 hours a day 
without hesitation or remorse. 
when I am feeling low 
all I have to do is
watch my cats 
and my courage returns. 
I study these 
creatures. 
they are my 
teachers.
