Dear you . . .
Today, for the first time since Hurricane Michael hit us on 10/10/18, I did not drive to Inlet Beach and feed/water cat Dinky and her daughter, Bastet (named for the goddess as pictured above). I finally surrendered the task to a good local young man and his gal. They love cats and I can give them a little bill-paying cash to cover their time and energy. Finally, I managed to let this go, the last heart-task connected to the old Inlet Beach property.
I miss their little faces.
I miss their resilience and fuck-all bravery as their space was slowly dull-dozed down to nothing.
I miss their gorgeousness.
As my friend Eric says, I have passed the torch.
That makes me torch-less.
Hail to thee, Bastet, mythic and real.
And hail to the fur-ball feline (Vivo) who made the journey with me to this condo life.
Simple thoughts for the day,
XO
Joyce
