At 3:00 this morning, we heard a bit of a
ruckus outside. We quickly glanced at the
monitor and saw a fox running down our
stone walk. We couldn't tear our eyes away.
He actually circled the cabin, making two
visible passes. I grew up loving the solitary
fox because of The Little Prince. Frankly,
I could barely contain my tears I was so
moved. It's amazing, funny, strange, just
how much our childhood memories affect
our adult psyches. I had my grandson on
my mind as my calendar reminds me, he
deploys today. Both my boys are military,
one army, one marine . . . so I suppose I
felt the fox to be something of a sign. I
have to laugh at myself; I've always been
one for signs and wonders, go figure! Truly
though, one of the things I love about living
in this tiny, archaic cabin, is the daily viewing
of wildlife. It might be a bit rich on my part,
but I see it as love notes from the Universe.
bright blessings to you
so missing you already
fare thee well dear heart
