IF I WAS A CAT

 OURCARE SUPPORT GROUP

By Shirley Riga

IF I WAS A CAT, I WOULD BE PURRING RIGHT NOW

SATISFIED, PROFOUNDLY MOVED BY TONIGHT’S MEETING

SHARING, LISTENING, NETWORKING, LAUGHING

SO SAD, TIRED, IDEAS POPPING, WRITING, PASSING AROUND, TRUSTING, QUIET.

SILENCE OF KNOWING.  WE EACH GET UP

IN THE MORNING.  UNDERSTANDING, LISTENING, ASKING, MORE SHARING.

I AM PROFOUNDLY MOVED BY MY OWN LEARNING, WITNESSING OTHERS GROWING, TRUSTING, COURAGE AND STEPPING FORWARD.

THIS MEETING HAS ITS OWN ENGINE, PURRING ALONG READY TO HEAR OUR STORIES, FEEL, ABSORB, FUEL,

INSPIRE ROUND THE CIRCLE LIKE A CAT PURRING.
