happy trails, nacho.

and

as suddenly as

nacho the cat not the food

stepped into our lives

and became family

he has exited once more.

last night he slept

calm and close

purring and cuddling

warm fur soft and gentle.

tonight it will be quiet.

we are made better

for having known him

and

he’ll be

remembered for

his sense of humor

 his friendly ways

and

his love of life.

we will all miss him dearly.

adios amigo.

until we meet again.

there is something wrong with this.

it’s like starting out your journey

by surrendering to the inevitable traffic jam,

knowing you’ll be frustrated and angry.

what about making

a tiny carry-out espresso cup

instead

that reads:

“just a quick shot to enjoy

as we’re sure you will

soon be arriving

at your destination?” 

i could really go for that.

troubles?

grab paper and pen

put it in writing

give it to the wise woman

see how yours compare.

she will fill a little bag with your writing

toss it onto the big pile of troubles

 put it into perspective.

you walk away lighter.


the art of living lies not in eliminating,

but in growing with troubles.
