Happy Easter

In the dying of the light:

The people’s steps are slowed,
Their feet unsure. They try to find
The path that seems to fade.
As though the world were going blind,
Their eyes strain to see ahead.
They try in vain to find the way.
Their vision -- at first dimmed -- now lost.
Confused, directionless, they stray.

In the tightening coil of night
In the dying of the light


In the rising of the Sun:

The people turn uplifted.
In faith and unity they stride
To see the promises fulfilled.
Alive again the light that died.
They see the day before them.
They see the way again made clear.
Brightly now their purpose shines.
Now that the rising sun is here.

The time of darkness now is done
In the rising of the Son

Animal Farm update part 2

We took the other half of the herd to the vet today. He's impressed with Ludo's progress. The heart murmur is still there but not as obvious. He's filled out tremendously. If he keeps doing this well, we'll be able to do surgery on the growth on his chest in January. We're very lucky that everyone gets along (so far). My poor skinny old cat is just showing her age and my great big moose cat is NOT overweight at 17lbs. The only negative thing (aside from the bill) was that I forgot to give Loki dramamine before we left so he hurled. He managed to miss the plastic tablecloth that we covered the back seat with as well as the floor mat but he did hit the cat cage and the exposed carpet over the hump between the seats. My hubby didn't appreciate me laughing at the fact that he'd be driving to Westlake with a smelly car but then, I was the one cleaning the source of the smell while he got dressed for the meeting so I figure I can laugh all I want.
