pleading with the moon

I once wrote a love letter to the moon.

and when I say love letter, I mean a plea.

"If I could just receive a sign... thats all im asking for.

a sign that youre listening, a sign that im on the right path, a sign that truly prances its self right onto my path and walks me to what my calling is suppose to be..."

"MEOwwwww...."

meow? meow?!

I turned my head and the absolutely most angelic cat pranced across my lawn and in the filter of the evening I almost missed her.

Ive actually never heard a stray speak...

and I thought to myself.... " now moon... I dont speak cat. "

and the cat disappeared.

disappeared as quick as she appeared and the grief sat in. The grief and disappointment of not being able to understand.

why would that cat talk to me? did she hear me speaking to the moon? was this the moon??? channeling through this random stray night kissed feline?

*opens the Google and proceeds to ask Google to translate*

" What is the spiritual meaning of a black cat? "

Protection and good luck

*-*

I guess the moon heard me.

***

"black cat, black cat, where ever you are... where are we headed?? and is it far?"

Honestly...I wish I spoke cat. Maybe exactly what I needed to hear was weaved into the cadence of her "meow". Maybe If I had listened with a doubtless heart I would know!!!!!!

I would really know...

maybe! this is a sign that I should get a cat.

but the truth is ive never even imagined a life where I coexisted with one.

If I was to get a black cat maybe just maybe , Hogwarts would finally deem me as a deserving recipient of their leadership . 

I can see them now, swooping me up up and away! To live A life of magic.

The moon wanes and I marvel as the moon evolves for the 10th cycle of this year. I love the continuous ebb and flow of illumination. 

I hope to see the cat again tonight… I turned my porch light on so I cant even Almost miss her…him? Whom ever they are…

The night sky has always played mesmerizing tricks on me. 

The sky has an ombre of purple to blue and then blue to black- Specked with the bright single colored sprinkles.  

Just like I like it. Simple but elegant. 

We all have bits of the cosmos within us… so I always envisioned id be marveled at in the same fashion…

Full of hope and inspiration… 

“MEOOooowww” 

“Meeeeoooowwww” 

And there she was… a descendant of the moon and messenger from my witchy future! 

I feel it in my chest!!!!

Hogwarts here I come! 

I followed her movements with my gaze initially. She didnt seem to be speaking to me, but aloud. Maybe she just enjoys her own voice? 

And I stood from the throne of my porch… and began to trail behind her meow’s and the catwalk (my street ) to inevitably just see…

I made a plea with the moon and this cat showed up right afterwards… coincidence? I think not… but Ill happily wear a tin hat. XD

But again, to see… where the moon has called me to be. 

She takes a left…

Then a right, then she takes another left…

And before I know it… its just she, me, and the moon in the deep of my neighborhood. Ive never even come down this street before… there are houses in rows of shadows.  Trees draping the street. 

At one point I think I saw her glance behind and notice me…

I know one thing for sure… im putting a tracker on her if she comes home with me. And definitely once we get to hogwarts… 

I once saw a 3.5 mile trail recorded from a tracker my friend’s cat wears. 

But… maybe I should keep her indoors? But wouldnt that defile this whole exchange… Luck and Protection. 

I wont lock you up kitty! You can remain free but goodness… where are we going? 

 I stopped in the middle of the high *monotone*speed chase to really reflect… why is there such a need to be where this cat leads?? 

good Luck and Protection

Things I need… o_O

Ive spent majority of my life chasing metaphorical black moon sent cats…

But never have I actually truly followed one. Trailed behind with a lack of worry. 

Shadowing a shadow…

Isnt that what you are, miss kitty? A shadow? A representation of where my soul yearns to be and where My physicalities limit me? 

Are you just toying with me? Am I kidding myself? 

* kitten myself*

Am I leading myself astray… following a stray? 

Hogwarts… can you hear me? 

Cat can you hear me? 

Moon… You heard me but where are you taking me? 

And then there it was. 

“Meow Meow Meeeow MeeOOW” 

“Theres no denying it anymore … you are talking to me.

At this point, Ive followed you on a whim of a potentially answered plea… 

Id be fooling myself to think you wouldnt be talking to me. Youve seduced my curiosity and lead me here.” 

And Just a quick as she appeared and disappeared during our initially crossed paths… 

She burst in stardust and blew away with the autumn breeze.

And before me I see–

after a series of lefts and rights and auto pilot birthed fantasies on the journey here… 

I see my future. I see my past. I see my now. I see all of the constellations of my life reflected back to me… 

Here I am, There She is…

 The she that is me. 

Ive been in this neighborhood for 3 months and Ive never journeyed through any of these streets. I didnt know this is where Id meet the ocean for the first time.

 I didnt realize the ocean and the moon shared a heart beat. 

And I followed a stray all the way here… and its as if she simply led me… to me. 

And this is where it all happens… The constellations, the moon, hogwarts, miss kitty… staring at my reflection in the sea… I finally truly understand how marvelous my life’s journey could be. 

Pleading with the moon was the seed.
