moments ….

 
Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) and Sam (Dooley Wilson)in  Casablanca  (Michael Curtiz 1942)
 
 

The moments of happiness . . .
We had the experience but missed the meaning
And approach to the meaning restores the experience
In a different form, beyond any meaning
We can assign to happiness . . . 

The past experience revived in the meaning
Is not the experience of one life only
But of many generations – not forgetting
Something that is probably quite ineffable 

Moonlight, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin 

Moonlight, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin 

Moments of Happiness
from the musical “Cats”

Cat

Sunday morning, like almost every morning is “coffee on the terrace” time. Some more engaged than others. Coffee on the table, maybe feet on the table, and of course, cat on the table.

Naturally, “The madonna” has an attitude similar to mine. Before the first coffee of course, we all want to be left alone and enjoy the “first cup” in solitude. And if somebody sticks a camera in our face we throw a little attitude around.

… the version of Arlequin Café
 
 

And as soon as the coast is clear, or so it seemed, we can go back to lounging again.

I thought i had to share these images, since our resident tiger has occupied the coffee table on our terrace this Sunday morning. Something she has not done in quite a while. She usually claims  the somewhat softer pillows on the sofa in a more discreet manner ……. But this time …. the coffee came out, the cat came on the table to claim her spot next to it …. with a healthy portion attitude ….
