Waiting Just For Me

 

Coming into the last 2.5 weeks till return, I laid in bed this morning missing Dal and Sam like I always do.  There was no Sam on my chest and no Dal snuggled nicely into the form of the right side of my body.  But this morning, I found myself missing and embracing the Chatette. I have always felt pulled to our place...that it needed us as much as we needed it.  It was a little hard for me to get my arms around the Chatette visually, but then there was the light and the pieces to our puzzle of peace that surround us. When Evelyn came to spend that month with us last September, I was able to share the beautiful glowing cross that the moon makes at night over our valley and the river.  I've experienced one other moon event that I wasn't able to share with Evelyn-at certain times, when the moon and valley conditions are just right-(usually around 3am when I'm wandering around)-I've seen the moon beams reach into the tunnel from the river and literally encircle the Chatette.  Maybe it's about timing.  Maybe it's about weather conditions.  Maybe it's about geography.  I don't know, but I don't have to.  The moon embraces us on a regular basis.  And so today, I focus on the power of our Lotoise moon hanging in the sky over the causse as it reflects in our very own Moon River.  I focus on all that surrounds the Chatette.  We are hugged by the moon. We are hugged by the pieces that surround our place.  Even from Germany, with the help of the moon I can embrace our place of peace and know it will be waiting there just for me to return.

I hope it's that easy Evelyn...it doesn't always happen-and there's something that needs to be just right for it to occur. Do I know what that is? Ha-wish I did! But-come on-I bet your visit would bring it on!

I can almost feel your homesickness! That Lotoise moonrise is so special; I'm so glad you shared it with me. I'm going to invite myself to the Chatette during the full moon the next time I'm in the Lot. We'll set the alarm for the middle of the night...I've got to see that moon shining thru the tunnel and wrapping the Chatette in her arms!
