Original artwork description
. . .
A Japanese saying suggests that,
when one is overwhelmed with work,
one should “ask a cat for a helping hand.”
Fair enough.
One can always hope.
The Japanese know that all too well.
It is not the feline’s role to “lend a hand.”
Whatever next?
His purpose is simply to exist.
To lounge in the warmth, waiting.
Waiting for what?
An opportunity?
The right moment?
Harmony.
He has an acute sense of balance.
Only the sumo wrestler can provide a counterweight,
provided the balance beam is properly adjusted.
