Turns out Eli is a Full Moon Rising
G called to meet her and Y at LeVitra – M’s brother is in town and S’s son is in as well. Seconds later, J called saying she hadn’t left for Houston and to walk over have a glass of wine and sit outside and enjoy the beautiful sky. My foot said uh uh – so I stayed in and read the paper with my foot propped up (dreading NY because I don’t know how it is going to be having to walk around so much). I called my mom back. While I was on the phone with her, Joe pulled up – the sky was purple and there was a full moon right in front of me. He said he had just come from a picnic in the park and he came up on the porch and sat on the rocker – I said Joe I’m busy, I’m on the phone with my mom and getting ready for a trip. He said I’ll watch out for you while you’re gone.
As he drove away, I looked at that full moon and new where the tug of dissonance was coming from – the Eli’s coming feeling – something deeper than any of us can articulate.
