In twilight dreams dance

Reality’s mooring firm

Awww. That's wonderful. Never give up!

I'm not giving up on Sneaky. Every time I go outside I call to him. 😻

Thank you that gives me hope.

Bear in mind (and apologies for the long note), my two kitties are both completely feral. We live in the very wild canyons of Los Angeles, with bobcats, coyotes, etc. I do TNR, and have been feeding Floofles who comes almost every night since I TNR'ed her 8 years ago. Just in the past two weeks, for the first time ever she has been stepping inside the house to eat! Of course I leave the door open and she leaves if I make any move toward her. But it's a huge development!

Anyway, to your point, Floofles stopped showing up for 10 MONTHS a few years back! I was so sad but somehow in my heart I knew she was still around. When I saw her come back to our yard I couldn't believe my eyes! But it was the same clipped ear from my TNR and my sweet Floofles had returned looking totally fine.

Sneaky is relatively recent, started showing up about 2 years ago. He's also fixed and has been coming every night for two years. It's just weird that he suddenly stopped coming after February 23rd. On that same day, the beautiful bobcat showed up, but Sneaky came that night AFTER the bobcat appearance, so I don't really think it's related. But maybe Sneaky smells the bobcat and is just staying away?

Here's a link to their Instagram including the video of the bobcat, if you're interested. Thank you for listening!

Dreams and reality

Comedy and gravity

Is it just a duality

Or natural depravity

In the metaverse

Dreams manifest as code streams

New realities

Very relevant!

Earth remembers you

From the pure cosmic codas

dreams are the trail maps

(but not the territory)

Beauty is being

Alive in the midst of night

Where mind is empty

Lovely, paints a nice image for me

Feathers drift in dreams,

Mountains stand in stark reality—

Between, hope gleams.

In dreams, a kettle sings,

Under reality's vast sky—

Each to the other, wings.

A clock ticks in dreams slow,

While reality's river flows fast—

Time's dance, high and low.

Paper boats in dreams sail,

On reality's concrete paths—

Imagination's trail.

One butterfly

a life in flight feeling all

I slept hard last night

First attempt I've made at haiku in years. It's a tough form but interesting to work with. Thanks.

Daydreams at twilight

Between sunset and the night

Who’s to say what’s real?

Nice imagery!

Thanks for this great prompt 💕

Here's mine.

The revenge

of reality occurs

when absolute confusion

brings a dissolution

of the fruition

of my dreams
