cat while purring

some orchestra warming for their rendition
of Beethoven/'/s Lullaby.
some humming. a bee somewhere buzzing
new blooms.
I wander the overgrown wonder of that lush garden.
the voles dart a peek and even my ballet flats whisper.
such joy and such quiet solace. odd to even move
away from her repose.
the distant from Bastet to petting by lowly humans.
even my breath slows. and every vibration
a balance between desert warrior and an
ointment jar.

That/'/s quite a stretch, from a desert carrier to an ointment jar!
Such pleasant and serene visions you describe:
"I wander the overgrown wonder of that lush garden" .
Amid all the hoopla and hubbub of the New Year, a calm moment to reflect on the calmness of life.
You are a breath of fresh air!

I like how as I read this I have a cat purring on my chest. :)
I like all of this, but I think ointment jar confuses me a little. To the point at which I wonder if it/'/s to treat the cat or if it/'/s a meaning of quiet stillness of breath, but I see both bring a good fit. :) |

What the name of the goddess means remains uncertain.[3] One recent suggestion by Stephen Quirke (Ancient Egyptian Religion) explains it as meaning "She of the ointment jar". This ties in with the observation that her name was written with the hieroglyph for ointment jar (bꜣs) and that she was associated with protective ointments, among other things.[3] The name of the material known as alabaster might, through Greek, come from the name of the goddess |
