First Quarter

     It was after my dog broke through the screen door and attacked a familiar dog walking with its owner past our house. And it was after carrying an itchy unsettledness today that I looked up into the late afternoon sky and saw the first quarter moon. I almost smiled. For more than 20 years I'd noticed that, often enough, on the first quarter moon things just would go wrong. I don't know why this is so. But, today, I just wasn't surprised.
     Anyway, it may've been a first quarter when my old cat Sam was viciously attacked. Maybe Stella's adventures and misadventures have been influenced by this moon. However, working on her story today is one of the most calming things to do.
