The nature of trust


My first response, on seeing this sweet sculpture, 
Was a sadness that my cats, 
Who are siblings, 
Don’t do this any more: 
The brother now delights in attacking his sister. 
But once I set aside that thought, 
I began to appreciate how beautifully this captures 
 The nature of trusting relationships: 
That we can rest in the knowledge 
 That the other will watch over us, 
And we watch over those we love, 
That they may find peace.
