Cats and Dogs!

I have decided Lord

that when it comes to spirituality

I am more of a 

cat

than a dog

Dogs seem consistent in their affection Lord

but more

consistent in their attention

Indy

my one eye'd pirate God

big goofy Golden

was always there

sometimes annoyingly so

right

there

under my feet

always hanging around 

looking at me 

waiting for whatever ever was next 

from "the big guy"

my cats?

 

not so much

oh when they don't feel well

or are hungry

and feel the need for a little attention

they can be amazingly annoying

meowing

bumping

in my face

 

but then

stomachs full

heads scratched

whatever need

big or small satisfied.....

off they go

until the next need

 

I am afraid Lord

I may be a little

a lot

like that.

I love having you around, 

when I need you

but often 

when life is rolling along just fine,

thank you very much,

my focus drifts

and I become a functional athiest

until the next time

Lord

help me to remember you

in each moment

help me not to seek you just in those moments

when the storm rages

and the spiritual stomach growls

in the moments of darkness and chaos

but also in the moments 

of fullness and joy

and love
