As usual the alarm clock woke me up for work at 5 o'clock this morning. I opened my eyes...and there was the big round full moon, shining brightly right in my window. Fuzzy was on the pillow next to me, purring mightily, and Louie woke up from sleeping against my lower leg. Both cats looked so wise and ancient in the moonlight. The moon was getting ready to set... and since it was nearing the horizon, it seemed especially large and yellowish, and the light bathed my front yard and the hills across the street.
There's a streetlight across the street that i find annoying (although in recent years they've changed the kind of bulb and fitted it with a different shade, so the light isn't as glaring) , but who could be annoyed at cool moonlight pouring in? Certainly not me!

That was a very special time with your kitties!
ReplyDeleteSomething magical about the moon. How nice you got to share this special moment with your kitties.

PS Thanks for your kind thoughts about our woman. She has to learn to take it easy so she can get better. (Easier said than done.)
How lovely, very poetic - I can see it in my minds' eye....serene. Waking up with your cats, the best thing ever; they all have their little ways which add meaning and reason to our lives, don't they? Wonderful, amazing creatures!
ReplyDeleteI too have found the moon so magical...how wonderful to see it setting with your kitties and not even having to go outside!
ReplyDeleteI love sleeping in the moonlight. At my other house, our bedroom was situated so that at certain times the moon would slant across our bed, and I would twist around so that I could fall asleep with the moon smiling on my face.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, when we are in Vermont, when the world is covered in snow and the moon is full I can actually read by the moonlight. The moon really is ancient, and reminds us of constancy, rhythms and wonder, eh?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a mystical experience. I love the part about the cats seeming 'ancient'. There is something so wise and knowing about cats...
ReplyDeleteBTW, thanks so much for your comment on my blog!
Katie Jane, what a wonderful way to sleep that must have been! It's interesting how we (cat-loving, artistic, women) all seem to feel that ancient mystery of the moon.
ReplyDeleteJudy, i totally love that art quilt vase of flowers you just made, and the yummy spring colors are at a perfect time, when we've really had quite enough of brown, grey, and white.
Mom said: How lovely. I loved this post.
ReplyDeleteWhen I wake in the night and Milo and Alfie are snuggled up against me (Alfie on the pillow, and Milo pressed up against my legs) I feel a reeal sense of peace with the World.
