Lughnasa Kate’s Moon
Under this waning moon my sweetheart will turn 73. Tomorrow. Interestingly, for those of you attentive to matters ecliptical, it is not the moon that will blot out the sun on Monday. Only a new moon can create an eclipse. But Kate’s Moon, in our lives, is equally important.
Long ago, on March of 1990 Kate eclipsed my other, dismal attempts at marriage, blotting them out. Since then, I’ve gone through 26 of her birthdays as her husband and on each one I’ve grown fonder of her and more grateful that she’s in my life. Tomorrow is number 27.
Kate is a beautiful, bright, compassionate woman who has enriched my life. We have, throughout our marriage, sought the most creative, most fruitful life for each other. She encouraged my writing; I encourage her handwork. We’ve both grown and changed in positive directions, directly as a result of our relationship.
When she retired our marriage increased its significance, since we are now the other’s primary companion during the day, too. Love is healing as well as supportive and she’s been there for me during my prostate surgery and my knee surgery, both as supportive wife and medically knowledgeable healer.
I love her more now than when we met.
Her big birthday present this year is the rental of the r.v. that will carry us to Driggs, Idaho and position us in front of the total eclipse. She deserves it. And much more.
Happy wife, happy life. Happy Kate, happy mate.
No, I don’t recall the origin of the blackeye, but she’s beautiful anyhow, isn’t she?
