ENJOYMENT

Sleek sky of cobalt blue;
Water like nectar satisfies deeply.
Air sweeter than the best perfume;
Sunlight warms a grateful cat.


It is hard to believe life is all for naught. Can't we take
happiness when it comes?

There is admittedly a great deal of suffering and horror in this
world. But if we are to accept life's sad parts, we must also embrace
its good parts. As long as we are in this world, we must accept it all.
If what comes our way is occasionally wonderful, no one should deny our
enjoyment. We all know that every rise is followed by a fall. Why dwell
only on dread of the future? As long as we have behaved responsibly,
there is nothing wrong with enjoying the best of what life has to offer.

Look at a cat as she stretches out contentedly in the sun. There is
no thought of the next moment, only the sheer enjoyment of the present.
Rest assured that she will still be able to clean herself, still be able
to catch mice, and still be able to do all the things that a cat must
do. But she is without anxieties, and so she is purely and totally who
she should be. She acts as if she were nature's favorite. And who is to
say otherwise?
