“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…
