an occurrence without recorded documentation

leaving the devices alone last night i ventured to the front porch to just sit and watch the moon rise.
an opportunity, now that a calmer tenant occupies the house below.

this is not say it was quiet, the neighbor's birds making night time noises and the musicians down the hill were having a party. Willie Nelson's "Always on my Mind" wafted up on the air waves.
 
"may i be at peace"
"may my heart remain open"
"may i awaken to the light of my own true nature"
"may i be healed"
"may i be a source of healing for all beings "

sound of someone lapping water from the bowl i fill for other animals
turning to look into the eyes of a possum, looking back into my eyes

mutual recognition
"oh there is a being and we see each other"

she/he then disappeared into the rose bushes
and this human animal who always, always has something to show or say out loud
tries to write in the morning about looking and listening.
