If a woman does not keep pace with her companions,
perhaps it is because she hears a different drummer.
Let her step to the music which she hears, however measured or far away.

Poetry - Journey of a Curious Cat


The Journey of a Curious Cat
(“Get out of your father’s boat
and follow Me;
and let’s go sailing
on the Bottomless Sea”.)

This curious cat has survived her 9th life
by embarking on the journey of a lifetime,
one began with a single step
and a lot of questions.

Yearning for adventure and faraway places,
she’s now sails on the Bottomless Sea,
far from the familiar shore,
smelling the salt air,
watching the birds fly free,
and following her own dreams, thank you very much.

“Home” is where my heart takes me.
“Home” is living my own “I AM-ness.”

(10/23/10 Poetry Retreat, Richard Osler, Surfside Beach)
