Changing Of The Guard: 8:05 PM - 9:03 PM
8:05 PM - Waxing crescent moon...
8:10 PM My perch in the front row...
8:12 PM no movement, no sound... porch sitting... a centering meditative experience, undisturbed, deeply satisfying, a sound/no sound environment, trees breathe, leaves flutter with the sibilant rush of a lover's silk robe slipping willfully from shoulders, draping in slow motion to the floor.
8:25 PM except from Fred Robin, frequent visitor and earthworm miner who visits every day...cocks his head in a silent salute as I quietly greet him then goes about his foraging. Fred the kingdoms spokesman for the evening, a foraging robin becomes a winged zen master showing me the way of the universe.
8:54 PM Arturo Ui stationed behind me never misses activity outside his door....
9:02 PM absorbing the enveloping evening in a silence beyond all comprehension. Jupiter, mute and massive, shuffles into its slippers, surveys us from a safe distance.
