“When a cat falls out of a tree, it lets go of itself. The cat becomes completely relaxed, and lands lightly on the ground. But if a cat were about to fall out of a tree and suddenly make up its mind that it didn’t want to fall, it would become tense and rigid, and would be just a bag of broken bones upon landing.
In the same way, it is the philosophy of the Tao that we are all falling off a tree, at every moment of our lives. As a matter of fact, the moment we were born, we were kicked off a precipice, and we are falling, and there is nothing that can stop it.
So instead of living in a state of chronic tension, and clinging to all sorts of things that are actually falling with us because the whole world is impermanent, be like a cat.”
~ Alan Watts
Being a cat
Is about feeling ease
Not only in body
Built for speed
With flexibility of spine
Creating elasticity
In the cushioning
But also in their brains
Integrating moves creating agility
With remarkable coordination.
And powerful reflexes
Cats are graceful
In acceptance of the flow
There is ease of doing
Which lands them safe.
When you accept
Life is a but a dance in the flow
You begin to ease
In the ups and downs
You know life is a flux
Change is the only constant
You flow with effortless ease
Be like a cat…
