the other day the power went out at home. it was afternoon and i had no lights on, no stereo, i was just sitting on the couch reading email on my laptop, so there was nothing obvious to go off. but still, suddenly there was a loss of energy in the air, a lack of vibration, a sudden silence deeper than the silence that was already there.
it’s been a week now since Piggles has been gone and i still automatically look for her, sitting by the window or curled up on her stool or running for food when we fill the bowls. cats don’t generally make a lot of noise, so it’s rather surprising how much more silence there is now to get used to.
