The impatient Moon...

By Vichara

The impatient Moon left early. It said something about getting home to deal with a family member. The Sun was a little preoccupied with some issues concerning a couple of stars which left a slight void in the morning light that would give some luminescence to the landscape. So while we sat and waited Reflection and his pal Perception came along It was mostly to get a cup of the good coffee, but they decided to sit a moment while they could. Reflection was mired in a couple of things that happened a couple of days ago and something that may happen if such and such came by. As we enjoyed a cup of joe Reflection rocked back and forth and picked at this one spot on the top of the wooden picnic table that they were sharing. Perception was being patient and just sat with a pleasant smile enjoying the African coffee blend. Then Reflection let out a punctuated yelp having picked at the wood so much he picked up a splinter under his fingernail. Perception calmly grabbed Reflection’s injured finger and said “good, you’re with us now and focused on one thing in the present.” And with that pulled the wooden shard out the finger and said “it is too bad that it takes something so jarring and painful to bring you to the present”. He continued and looked at both of us "the nattering past and the impatient future are not relevant when your attention is needed now here in the present and who wants to keep getting splinters to figure that out."
