Dawn and the final reading
[A small white cat with emerald eyes glances at the rising sun and
nods. It is time. She is wearing an amber necklace with a small pendant of a winged green garden snake. She climbs the dais and reaches the podium as sun touches above the horizon to shine softly into the Hawaiian cave, symbolic to the womb of Bast, where all cats came from. Guests and others who have lost loved ones, fall silent.] Good morning, sirs and ma’am’s, and a special thank you to the residents of this wonderful place, Hawaii is now a piece of all our hearts. Each October, at sundown of the evening of the first full moon and through the night, we gather to pay tribute to our dear ones who have taken their final journey in the year just past. As the sun rises, we bid another farewell and return to our homes and families. Much richer for having known and loved, much better for the lessons learned, we smile despite our grief. As always, the first name called represents those whose names we did not know, those lost or tossed, taken through illness or abuse or nature's fury. We stand in silent thought, and send our hopes that they have found peace and love at last. [There is a short pause, then she slides her paw to the lighting controls and raises the lights over the podium and to her left. Light of the new day shines in from the entrance. Beside her, a large beagle to her left repeats her comments in ASL-C/D] We call their names, family members, dear friends, respected strangers...our Jellicle Honorees: Unknown Kitties, House of Bast Phoebe, House of Armstrong Charlie, House of Babcock Buffy, House of Baldwin Mandy, House of Baldwin Misty, House of Baldwin Bobby Boo House of Batson Hunnybun, House of Batson Petey, House of Batson Vamp Kitteh, House of Chez Shenks Ramsey, House of Chez Shenks Radar, House of Condon Weegie, House of Condon Alice Ann Madre, House of David Charlotte, House of David Chuy Rex, House of David Ralph de Ralph, House of David Oscar, House of Gilliat Lil Red Boy, House of Gittel Tiny Mom, House of Gittel Dusty, House of Harris Booker, House of Julie Arlene, House of Knop Sharyn (Lana), House of Long Amelia T Cat, House of Mahoney Bear, House of Mishi Chet, House of Mishi Ewok, House of Mishi Leia, House of Mishi John, House of Mishi Julius, House of Mishi Sasquatch, House of Mishi Sweet Pea, House of Mishi Tobi, House of Mishi Peyton, House of Maveety Shannon, House of Maveety BJ, House of Miller Angel Kittens, House of Miller Lil'Bit, House of Miller Maestro, House of Miller Spirit, House of Miller Stewart, House of Miller Tiny Kitten, House of Miller Vesta, House of Miller Duncan, House of Moore Stanley, House of Momorella Cinnamon, House of Rennie Diana, House of Rennie Galaxy, House of Rennie Whisper, House of Rennie Adam, House of Rubin Hyacinth, House of Scaldini-Klimm Jimmy, House of Scaldini-Klimm Kiki, House of Shelton Richie Redhead, House of Smith Beau Wah-Wah, Houses of Stapley and Gerber Alabama, House of Stapley Filbert, House of Stapley Georgia, House of Stapley Gold, House of Stapley Myrrh, House of Stapley Texas, House of Stapley Andy, House of Stacy Buddy, House of Stacy Pickles, House of Stacy Pandora Pussycat, House of Wikler-Cook Cassie, House of Zahari [A moment of silence with weeping guests ensues then a paw reaches over and slides the lights slowly back down] THe dawn of a new day seeps in. -- |

She looks about, aware some kittahs will time it and still post and that this is normal. Meantime, she watches as the group neatly packs up everything into the crates they used for the kitchen cabinets. These were on contract for pickup so there is little to do but wash a few dishes and set out the rest of the food for the guests to take home for breakfast. As they slowly depart, all is restored. The lights are taken down from the cave and the pig pit refilled with it's dirt then grass seed spread over the top. They even back fill the little cut out they made on the way to the river and sprinkle native grass seed on it. Cash and Iowna make one last circuit to ensure everything is picked up. All clear, they catch up with Daisy-chan and port back home. -- |
