A LITTLE PAUSE WITH LEVI
Some moments ask us to slow down.
A patch of sunlight. A favorite window. A familiar chair. A cat who somehow already knows how to simply be.
Paws for a Moment brings together 40 original haiku, photographs of Levi, and gentle reflections inspired by the ordinary moments that make a home feel like home.
Created to be opened anywhere, anytime you need a small pause.

A Moment to Pause
PEEK INSIDE . . . Three quiet moments from the book.
Sunny Sill
Will wiggle around
So silly in windowsill
Soaking in sunshine.
Sleepy Paw
Hidden from the world —
Soft paw shielding sleepy eyes,
Dreams deepen in peace.
Branches
Hunter's quiet gaze —
Autumn leaves begin to stir,
Patience on the wind.
FROM LEVI'S WINDOW TO YOURS
Paws for a Moment began with something very simple: watching Levi.
His pauses. His curiosity.
His favorite windows.
His remarkable ability to treat an ordinary afternoon as though it were exactly enough.
Those little moments became poems.
And the poems became this book.
I hope somewhere among these pages
you find a moment that feels like yours, too.
— Melanie S. Orsborne
