It
took a life changing event…
To take
the wind out of the sails of my writing…
It’s
taken another event…
To write
today.
The
other night…
As I
lay in my bed, solo now…
Listening
to all the noises outside in the jungle…
And all
the ‘house settling‘ noises…
I
prayed for protection for me, my house and my land.
Funny
how when I wasn’t alone, I heard nada…
But
now that I am alone, I have ears like a deer.
So
there I was sleeping…
When—huh!
Something
was walking around my house!
Lord!
I
got up…
Grabbed
my bullhorn…
Yes,
bullhorn because if there ever was an intruder…
I’d
scare the crap out of him by blaring the siren…
(take
THAT you mother@#$er^ you!)
After
peeping out all doors and windows…
I
saw nothing alarming.
And
then I walked into my bedroom…
AAAHHHHHH!!!
My
heart did a THUNK…
Because
out on the patio…
Was
a large breed beagle and a black cat…
Staring
back at me into my dark bedroom.
After
the three of us stared at each other a while…
The
dog and cat touched noses…
And
then the dog left.
The
cat? It stayed.
By
morning it was still there…
And she
followed outside to wherever I went in the house.
Finally,
I took a shower when…
AAAHHHHHH!!!
The
cat was now in the shower with me!
It
had figured out how to open the screen door.
And
there you have it, I mean, her…
I’ve
named her Indie, short for India
So?
Was it mere coincidence these two showed up?
Did the dog bring the cat?
Is she an answer to my prayers?
What do you think?
For now…
This may be all the writing I can muster for a while.
Unless that is…
A jaguar or cougar show up on my porch…
And I’ll have to write about that too.
Always, Em-Musing
