EMW *

EMW* With all due respect, an apawlogy and compliments and pleasantries to our friend and furriend, Ms. Cecilia and Ms. Angel Madi, of My Mind's Eye, today we have appropriated [to take without purrmission] the regular and frequent postings of their Early Morning Walks (EMWs) during which they share lovely and interesting images of homes, flowers and trees, views of the neighborhood where they live, places they visit and so much more ~ you too should visit, if you do not do so already ~

Our EMW on the other paw is a bit different.  Being somewhat early risers, both of us, by habit or choice [or need, in that June demands breakfast around 4 am, another story for another day] ... our EMW is the acronym for Early Morning Wandering.  It is still dark, now in winter a few hours until sunrise.  I sit at the table, it is very quiet only a few sounds rise from the street below for there is little traffic yet at this hour.  The buildings of the city, those tall and those small have only a minimum of lighted windows now.  If a clear night there may be a few stars to be seen, but never the stars one would see in the suburbs or rural areas ~ I've always missed seeing the stars.  And the quiet will be broken by sirens, yes, those never cease in a city.  But I sit and enjoy it while it lasts, unbroken and June curls up on the floor, beside me, leaning against the table leg.  My mind wanders to yesterday, to what we may do today, to times long long ago.  Early morning wandering, remembering other people, other places, moments sad, moments of joy, moments shared, so many memories.  Pictures in the mind, words, music, wandering there, in the quiet of a new day.  I look down and see this little kitty, does her mind wander I wonder ... early morning wondering, too.

  Wandering, wondering, waiting for this wonderful new day to begin.
