Imagine yourself away out in the country watching the stars come out The air seemed to get cooler and the stars began to appear gradually on the domed ceiling as the room darkened With my usual thirst for knowledge I thought To heck with the country Im in the mountains and promptly fell asleep So much for education Each time a film Ive sent away comes back Alice-from-in- town who was with me on the ride rushes out and we ait and laugh then weep quietly over them Theyre so beautiful It sounds as though Im con stantly sitting mooning about the Rockies but Im not really While we were In Saskat chewan I began making a real effort to look and find the small in my usual life again I started the morning after Gord told roe that twice the previous night I had woken him up saying I have to go back I HAVE to go back The first small Joy was ap propriately enough for me a cat was stuck in the house in Craik with a bad eye Infection and couldnt write or read or anything Just sit with dark glasses on and feel miserable Then the cat came in and was whipped up on the bed with me so fast that it sat and blinked for a minute then snuggled down She lay flat against me with her head just about under my chin pushing It into my hand with every stroke her ears so flat tened so far back that she looked like some sort of large ugly snake She lay and purred and pushed and dribbled down my neck for a long time then curled up betide me and we both slept When I woke Id stopped fighting the normal and was willing to come back down out of the if I could Gord and I went for a drive that evening and stretched out on a blanket at the top of a coulee watching the cattle on the slopes and a string of ducks puttering up and down the river in the valley Then I realized one thing the mountains lacked other than that Is The wind up there was cool clean and virtually scentless Blowing to us across the prairies were the scents of sage newmown hay and yellow clover And In place of the harsh call of the were the soft nighttime noises of Meadow- larks and other songbirds Getting home again we kept discovering one thing after another to exclaim over two new batches of kittens waiting for us Sue the pup grown almost ax big as her pappy and the twin foals almost unrecognizable Theyre all slim and leggy and real tittle hones My Is Just beautiful One last change found After years of sleeping with the covers loose I now find I cut sleep unless theyre tucked in An amateur psychologist would immediately pounce -Aha- In a doublering ceremony in Trinity United Church Acton on August

make anyone insecure Maybe Ive gained Just enough confidence after this Jaunt on my own that I feel I can assert myself and ensure my share of the bedcovers by anchoring them Or maybe its Just that
