L'anima dovrebbe sempre stare socchiusa,
pronta ad accogliere l'esperienza dell'estasi.
Emily Dickinson
Accade, spesso, sempre più spesso che il tempo scorra in fretta e non ci si renda conto di quanto velocemente i mesi, gli anni passino ... a giugno il nostro Anacleto avrebbe compiuto 17 anni, un micio dalle dimensioni minute come prima non mi era mai capitato di vedere, che venne alla luce presso la casa di alcuni vicini, nella borgata dove allora abitavamo, ma non appena cominciò con il muovere i primi passi venne da noi ed ... aveva già fatto la sua scelta, voleva che fossimo noi la sua famiglia ... divenne il piccolino di mamma e papà coccolato da quella che allora era una grande famigliola fatta di tanti 'fratelli' per lui, famigliola che purtroppo, con il trascorrere del tempo, divenne sempre più piccola fino a che egli si trovò a rimanere l'ultimo, sempre più gioioso, sempre più coccolato ed amato ...
Da alcuni mesi l'età era divenuta un peso per lui ed il suo brio è andato sfumando a poco a poco, ma davvero non ci voleva lasciare ... fino a che questa mattina la troppa debolezza lo ha vinto ed è tornato al cielo ... sì, da oggi in cielo vi è un piccolo angelo in più ... grazie piccolino per tutto quello che ci hai donato ...
Il dolore che si prova in questi casi lo può comprendere solo chi abita in compagnia di creature che ci accompagnano durante il cammino della vita di ogni giorno, talvolta facendoci sorridere, talvolta consolandoci in momenti di sconforto, sempre comunque al nostro fianco, creature che si fanno dono per noi ...
Ma la vita è sempre pronta a sorprenderci, e, poco dopo la scomparsa di Anacleto, con gli occhi ancora velati dal pianto ed il cuore in preda allo sconforto, passeggiando nel nostro portico in compagnia di Bea e Giannotto, con il cuore gonfio di tristezza e di malinconia, ho udito un trillo che ben conosco ... erano i primi gemiti di una nidiata di codirossi
... si trattava solo di scoprire dove fosse, l'unica cosa che compresi subito era che questi suoni finissimi provenivano dall'alto e Giannotto sembrava averlo compreso con me
... tanti, tantissimi sono i nidi di cinciallegre, fringuelli, merli, usignoli, allodole, ballerine, picchi, ghiandaie, passeri, pettirossi, codibugnoli ed altri ancora che ogni giorno brulicano di vita sui nostri alberi e tra le fessure dei nostri vecchi muri, ma oggi davvero non credevo mi attendesse una tale meraviglia: da anni alcuni passeracei trovano albergo nel nostro portico durante l'inverno e con ogni probabilità vi è chi, in mezzo ai cesti che tengo appesi alle vecchie travi del soffitto,
ha scorto il luogo ideale, sicuro e protetto, per deporre le proprie uova e crescere i propri piccoli ....
il cuore mi si è riconfortato, è stato come se una mano dal cielo avesse voluto lenire le mie pene mostrandomi come la vita sia un continuo rinnovarsi e come sempre, anche tra le lacrime, vi possa essere spazio per un sorriso di incanto, di commozione, quello che solo un abbraccio celeste può donare ...
E comunque non eravamo soli, altri occhi incuriositi, ma tutt'altro che spaventati, ci stavano osservando, proprio a pochi passi da noi ...

un'altra nidiata, questa volta di quattro coniglietti, stava compiendo, indisturbata, la propria passeggiata quotidiana ... mi correggo, non erano quattro, bensì cinque,
uno, ancor più tranquillo di tutti gli altri, e di sicuro da poco sveglio, era un po' più in disparte a fare toilette ...
Mi ricordai allora di una frase che lessi tempo fa tra le pagine del romanzo Emma di Jane Austen:
Nessun incanto è pari alla tenerezza del cuore.
Ho scritto commossa queste righe, perché ancora la tristezza non mi abbandona, ci vuole tempo per accettare certi accadimenti che fanno parte della vita, anche se sono consapevole di avere tanti, davvero tanti motivi per cui gioire in ogni attimo delle mie giornate ...
Un dolore è più forte in primavera,
per contrasto alle cose che cantano -
non soltanto gli uccelli - ma le menti -
e i minuti splendori e le brezze -
quando ciò per cui cantano è distrutto,
a che serve un'azzurra melodia -
ma la resurrezione ebbe da attendere
finché non fosse rimossa una pietra -
Emily Dickinson, 1530

The soul should always stand ajar,
ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

It happens, more and more often, that the time passes quickly and we don't realize how fast days, months and years go by ... in June our Anacleto would have turned 17 years old, a kitten from such a minute size as I had never seen before, which came into the world at the house of some neighbors in the little village where we lived then, but as soon as he began moving his first steps, he came to us and ... he had already made his choice, he wanted us to become his family ... he became mom and dad's little one, spoiled by what was then a great family made up of many little cats, 'siblings' for him, family that unfortunately, with the flowing of the time, became smaller and smaller until he remained the last, always more joyful, pampered and loved more and more ...
For some months his age had become a burden to him and his liveliness went vanishing little by little, but he really didn't want to leave us ... until this morning, the far too much weakness won him and he returned to heaven. .. yes, now in heaven there is one more little angel ... thank you, my little one, for everything you've given us during these so lovely years ...
- picture 2
The pain you feel in such cases may understood just by those who live in the company of creatures that lead us along the way of life every day, sometimes making us laugh, sometimes consoling us in moments of despair, but always by our side, creatures which make themselves a gift for us ...
But life is always ready to surprise us, and, shortly after Anacleto's death, with my eyes still veiled by tears and my heart in despair, walking along our porch together with Bea and Giannotto, with my soul full of sadness and melancholy, I heard a trill which I know so well ... they were the first groans of a brood of redstarts
- picture 3
- picture 4
... It was just to find out where the nest was, the only thing I quickly realized was that these fine sounds came from above and Giannotto seemed to have understood it together with me
- picture 5
... Such a lot are the nests of titmice, finches, blackbirds, warblers, skylarks, dancers, woodpeckers, jays, sparrows, robins, long-tailed tits and others which every day are teeming with life on our trees and between the cracks of our old walls, but today really I didn't think tha such a wonder was awaiting me: for years some passerines find housing in our porch during the Winter and in all probability one of them, in the midst of the baskets that I keep hanging on the old ceiling beams,

She has chosen the perfect location, safe and secure, where to lay her eggs and raise her little ones ....

my heart was comforted, it was as if a hand coming from heaven had wanted to soothe my pain showing me that life is a continuous renewal and as always, even through tears, there may be room for a smile of enchantment, of emotion, which only a celestial hug can donate ...
Anyway, we were not alone, other curious - but not scared at all - little eyes were looking at us, just a few steps from us ...

one litter, this time of four bunnies, was fulfilling, undisturbed, its daily walk ...I'm correcting myself, they weren't four, but five,

one, even quieter than everyone else, and certainly just woken up, was a little more on the sidelines to make toilet ...

Then I remembered a phrase that I read long ago amongst the pages of the novel Emma by Jane Austen:
No wonder is equal to the tenderness of the heart.
- picture 16
I wrote down these lines so moved, this sadness still doesn't leave me, it takes some time to accept certain events that are part of life, even though I have many, so very many reasons for which to rejoice in every moment of my day ...
A Pang is more conspicuous in Spring
In contrast with the things that sing
Not Birds entirely—but Minds—
Minute Effulgencies and Winds—
When what they sung for is undone
Who cares about a Blue Bird’s Tune—
Why, Resurrection had to wait
Till they had moved a Stone—
Emily Dickinson, 1530
Oh Dani che post commovente.
RispondiEliminaLa vita è una giostra, c'è chi sale e c'è chi scende, i colori si mischiano: non è mai tutto nero.
Ti abbraccio e ti sono vicina.
@ Manu
Eliminati ringrazio sinceramente, mia cara, per la tua comprensione ed il tuo affetto ... hai ragione, non è mai tutto nero, anche se talvolta si fa fatica a cogliere le sfumature dei colori più vivaci che al nero si mischiano ...
Contraccambio tanto dolcemente e sinceramente il tuo abbraccio, grazie ancora ❥
Oh Dany, so moving post and sad news. We love our pets but their life is shorter than ours. There is always the tragic separation. Your sorrow needs time to get more bearable but you have the lovely memories - and the thought that Anacleto has it well now might help. - Our dear dog passed away last summer and still today my husband gets tears in his eyes... For me it's easier already.
RispondiEliminaI love your photos, your gees, bunnies and new born birds. We have a lot of birds too and they are so fun to watch.
Dear Dany, I send you my warm comfort, thoughts and hugs. Be grateful of the long years Anacleto brought joy to your life. When the deepest sorrow gets lighter, the memories turn brighter.
@ riitta
Eliminayou're so very dear to me, sweetest, precious friend of mine, your words of support bless my heart ... I wholeheartedly thank you !!!
May your day be filled with joy,
sending all my love to you,
with utmost gratitude ♡ஐ♡
My dear Dany,
RispondiEliminait is always so sad when we lost a family member and our pets are family members. For myself I love my dogs and cats and goose an piggys and hens more than most of the people I know. I´m sorry for that, but it is the truth!
But on the countryside there are always wonders to watch. Yes sometimes the little sweeties choose a very special new home like the baskets under the roof. There´s an old tin can in my garden and a tomtit couple had chosen it for building a nest years ago. Every year they come back and my haart is full of joy when I see that. That is happiness for me, these little unpayable things makes my life worth while.
Wish you more little wonders, even when your Anacleto has gone over the rainbow bridge, he has taken your love with him and that keeps him safe and warm. Even our pets get a place in heaven and isn´t it comforting to know, that´s they will waiting for us?
Hugs and kisses, Barbara
@ Barbara
Eliminaoh, I so understand you when you talk about the inner joy that the wonder that the Nature gives you makes your life worth living, for me it's the same, animals enrich our life and make it so very much more precious ... you should have a look at me every year when the swallows come back ... it's a party of joy to me ... indeed, for us all !
I'm so very grateful to you for your words of solace ... you know, I also love all my 'babies' much more than some people I know, for they love me and know they may trust me because my love for them is boundless ... we're like a big family, aren't we ?
Animals don't know envy and wickedness, they're God's creature ... people also are, but they too often know malice ...
I hug you with so much love, my dearest, wonderful friend, and thank you most sincerely, thinking of you with deep gratitude ❀≼♥≽❀
I love all of these sweet pictures today, Dany. :)
RispondiEliminaSpring animals and babies are beautiful.
Happy Thoughts of Home. :)
@ Stacey
EliminaI so heartily thank you, lovely friend !
May the remainder of your week be joyous and filled with so many little things bringing gladness to your heart ಌ•❤•ಌ
Commovente il tuo post, è sempre triste lasciare i piccoli amici che ci accompagnano nel corso della vita, ti capisco bene. Ma è altrettanto bello scoprirne di nuovi..
RispondiElimina@ Marshall
Eliminahai ragione, mia cara, il dolore è vivo e forte, ora, ma la gioia tenta di contrastarlo ... anche se ancora non lo vince lo combatte e dona attimi di conforto, grazie al cielo !
Ti abbraccio con il cuore augurandoti un lieto prosieguo di settimana, prodigo di fiori e di profumi ✿⊱╮
Dany,
RispondiEliminaSorry for the loss of this dear kitty. It's amazing how much we come to love our pets.
@ Deanna
Eliminathe most touching thing is how much they love us ... unconditionally ... we're all their life and their world !
Thank you for your visit and your sweet words, dear friend,
enjoy the rmainder of your week •♥•♥•♥•
Such a lovely post Dany! Our pets give us unconditional love and bring so much happiness to our lives no matter how short their time may be here on earth.
RispondiEliminaWhat a sweet home Mama Bird found for her family. She knew you would be a friend.;-)
@ Lisa
EliminaI'm so grateful to you for your words of encouragement, you're truly sensitive and gifted by a sweet, good heart, my Lovely Lady, I'm truly fortunate to have met you !
And ... yes, you're right, for sure Mama Bird knew that she could trust me, I wonder how long she knows and observes me ... I'm so amazed at such wonders !
I wish you a joyous day, today, my dearest one,
sending all my love to you ❥
Dear Dany, my heart is breaking for your loss. Your sweet Anacleto reminds me so much of my Lizzie Cosette with that wonderful face. and I know he gave you much joy, many moments of laughter and great love. I know, also, that you gave him so very much in return.
RispondiEliminaI have been in your shoes with my own sweet Marmelade Gypsy, namesake of my blog, and I know how the heart breaks in many pieces you think may never come together again. Yet as you have seen, little miracles happen that help to heal the heart, though the loss remains forever. I'm glad you were blessed with baby birds and bunnies, a sweet sign of the renewal of life, even in deep sadness.
Across the miles I send you hugs and wishes for peace and healing.

@ Jeanie
Eliminasweet-hearted lady, you said it, I was blessed by discovering so many babies just in the moment of the deepest sadness ... I'm sorry to read that you also perfectly know how I'm feeling, we love our fur babies so, so much, but when they leave us, there's such an emptiness in our days !
Thanks most sincerely for your supporting and affectionate words, I so appreciate them, believe me, they mean so much to me, my darling !
Hope you're having a lovely week I wish you much joy for your days to come, sending my dearest love to you,
with heartfelt gratitude ღ❀ღ
Daniela, this post touches my heart deeply. I love animals, as you know, and I have a cat of my own and Anacleto was beautiful, and it sounds like he chose you and your family, and that he brought much joy into your life. I love all your photos, and thank you so much for sharing this part of your life. Much love and hugs to you, dear friend.
RispondiElimina@ Linda
Eliminait is I who feel so very grateful to you, your sweetness and kindness know no limits, and I do appreciate and admire you so much for this, my precious friend !
Embrace and kiss your fur baby for me !
Sending hugs and ever much love to you, with much thankfulness ♥♡♥
Cara dolce Daniela!Come ti capisco!Il dolore è grande ed è tenerezza infinita nel ricordo!Immagino i tuoi sentimenti contrastanti dal dolore di una perdita alla scoperta di nuove vite!Che carini che sono!Il posto dove vivi sembra una fiaba e te sei la fatina buona!Baci,Rosetta
RispondiElimina@ Rosetta
Eliminama quanto sei dolce, mia cara !
Onestamente io amo tutte queste creature, le ammiro e le rispetto cercando di lasciarle indisturbate in quello che è il loro ambiente naturale, sono loro i veri padroni ed abitanti di Tenuta Geremia ... l'aver voluto conservare il più possibile l'ambiente naturale, il piantare alberi ed arbusti di ogni tipo richiama tante meravigliosi piccoli esseri indifesi che qui ormai sanno di trovare pace e tranquillità ... il che mi riconforta non poco, soprattutto in momenti come questi ...
Grazie per essermi vicina, carissima, ti abbraccio con il cuore augurandoti una splendida giornata di primavera ⊰✽*ಌ*✽⊱
Hello Dany, I am so sorry about the loss of your sweet kitty. I love the cute photo of Anacelto and the cute baby birds in the nest. The bunny is adorable. What a lovely critter post. Sending you HUGS...Happy Thursday, enjoy your weekend ahead!

Dear Dany, I am so sorry. I know how much it hurts to lose a sweet precious friend who chose you to be his family. MY cats also came to me in that way and last May the last of them passed on and took part of my heart away with him.
RispondiEliminaI send you hugs. ❤
@ annie
Eliminait's so for real, darling, you feel as if a part of your heart goes away with them ... I hope to feel better much soon, so much work to do is probably the right distraction, even if the pain remains ...
I feel so sorry for the loss of your fur baby, sweetie ...
Sending much love on your day, today, and on your weekend ahead, with so much heartfelt gratitude ༺❀༻
Oh Dany un abbraccione forte forte, so cosa significhi perdere un animale caro, ormai entrato a far parte della propria famiglia.
RispondiEliminaAnacleto fa le fusa con i miei mici, io sono convinta esista un paradiso degli animali. Ma comunque rimarrà nel vostro cuore per sempre.
E...però vedo che il paradiso è davvero terrestre, lì da voi: quanti esserini popolano la vostra dimora.
Un baciotto, con affetto
Susanna
@ Susanna

Oh dear, that comment didn't post, did it! I was just saying that I'm shocked that I didn't encounter him when I was studying art history for his work is exquisite. I especially love the "Best Friends" -- that girl and puppy look ready to bounce off the page! And he really knows how to express the feminine of womanhood. That mother-and-child series is deeply profound, each a story in itself. Thanks for introducing him to me.
RispondiElimina@ Jeanie
Eliminaprobably this comment of yours was related to the previous post, but id doesn't matter at all, my lovely, I do appreciate your joy for Merle's painting so so much !

Eliminayou're so right, He never doesn't leave us alone... never, especially in the moment when we need Him most, I really felt His supporting hand !
Oh, dearie, it is I thanking you, and I do it most sincerely and with much joy, happy Pink Saturday to you ❥
Prayers for your sweet kitty! He must have brought you such joy, and I am sure that our beloved pets wait for us in Heaven. It stirs the heart. . .seeing the new lives that are beginning while mourning a life that has passed. Hugs to you, dear sweet Dany!
RispondiElimina@ Cynthia
Eliminaactually, I was really touched by what was happening to me, to feel together a deep sadness and such a tenderness which just babies can make us feel !
I thank you so much for your comforting words, to have you by my side is a consolation to me, my sweet friend, sending you my dearest love across the many miles ✿⊱╮
Sorry for your loss. Our pets become so much part of our families it's not easy to say goodbye. Please accept my condolences.

Oh Dany I am so sorry to hear of your loss, isn't it amazing how they get into our hearts and when they are torn from us it is so hard to bare. He was such a handsome cat too! Isn't it wonderful when we can look around us and see new life emerging during these times. As you know we lost 2 cats last year that were 17 years old and I know the pain, it is so hard to believe it has been a year for us since Anna's passing and in a couple months will be a year for Jip's passing, they do leave a whole but I do pray that the pain of this loss for you will lighten and when you think of him there will no longer be tears of loss but of the happiness you shared together, big (((HUGS))) to you my friend!
RispondiElimina@ Connie
Eliminayou're such a sensitive friend and I can only try to imagine what does it mean to loose two fur babies in two months, your pain was double, my lovely, poor darling !

Dolcissima Daniela, capisco la tua tristezza. I nostri amici animali sanno riempire le nostre vite con tutte le sfumature dell' amore e spesso riempiono i nostri cuori dalle mancanze che certe persone ci danno. La vita è un susseguirsi di gioia e di lacrime. Vivi in un posto meraviglioso, dove è palese che sia stato creato e mantenuto da mani romantiche...le tue! Prendi il bello che la tua romantica tenuta ti offre. Ti abbraccio forte

Enjoy your new week just begun, far too dear friend, may your days to come be joyous and serene, I wholeheartedly thank you for your support, sweetie, I do appreciate it so much *•♥♥•*
Dany I'm touched by this post, so sad to loose your sweet friend Anacleto and I know how you feel for it's only 3 months that we lost our border collie Snarf, and we still miss him so much, despite we know that we survive our animals. It is nice to see the new life in the basket hanging on the ceiling of your porch, what a sweet little baby birds. That's life there is a coming and a going....
RispondiEliminaBy the way I'm a fan of Emily Dickinson's poems, so beautiful.
Such fun to see rabbits in your garden too, I'm often watching them in the garden, there are sometimes 6 at one time in the garden and they have fun together running around, eating my plants, but I cannot resist them. I love my flowers but the animals come on first place. Hope you can enjoy the new life growing in the basket during these sad days.
Hugs, Janneke
@ Janneke
Eliminaoh I do remeber your so wonderful Snarf, I was already following you at that time, and I remeber your pain and your sadness, poor darling ... with our fur babies a piece of our heart breaks and flies away with them !

Your post was beautiful. I loved all your photo's especially the bunny! I couldn't read. The translator didn't pop up. Thanks for the music too. I loved visiting! Come over and see my Blue Monday post.
RispondiElimina@ Grantham Lynn
Eliminayou're so heartily welcome, my new friend, your words really bless my day !
as for the translation, you can find it after the text in Italian, before than comments, I put a frame in which I wrote to scroll down the page for reading the whole text translated in English by me.
Hope you're enjoying your new week,
I wish you most wonderful days to come ♥♡♥
So sorry for the loss of your cat, Dany! It's always so painful to lose such a special family member...one who has been with us so long. Lovely post. I loved seeing the little ones in the basket. Your photos are awesome! Hope all is going well with you as you get past the sadness (you will of course never get over the loss) I enjoy your comments on my blog so much! Have a beautiful week.

So sorry about your loss! That is what makes living on a farm/estate with land so hard to bear sometimes! Especially for us tenderhearted... We had some hard losses this year too but the new births in spring help to heal with the renewal of life. I love the quote by Emily Dickinson that you shared. That is a gem...
RispondiElimina@ JES
Eliminayou're so right, my adorable friend, I'm sure I have your understanding, we're too sensitive to stand such painful moments, alas ... sorry to hear that you also had losses this year, but as you say, to see new births gives us the cheerfulness and the joy which our heart needs !
Thank you for your always beautiful words, furthermore, they mean so, so much to me !
Hope you're having a lovely week I wish you most wonderful days to come, sending blessings of joy to you ಌ•❤•ಌ

In una bellissima atmosfera, dove l'emozione cresce man mano che le parole curate d'amore scorrono...quando dover rinunciare ad un nostro piccolo grande amico è sempre una grande sofferenza.
RispondiElimina...e poi all'improvviso un soffio di gioia, quella gioia che apre gli occhi ed il cuore verso nuove prospettive di felicità.....
Grazie mia splendida amica, per questa bellissima ed emozionante lettura!
Ti mando un abbraccio infinito ed un sorriso:)
la tua amica Luci@
@ Luci@
Eliminadolcissima amica dall'animo nobile, le tue parole ingentiliscono questa mia giornata donandomi gioia e serenità, te ne sono tanto grata !
Ti abbraccio con tanto affetto e sincera stima augurandoti una settimana prodiga di gioia ... grazie ❥
Cara Daniela, quando queste creature entrano nelle nostre case, nelle nostre famiglie, fanno parte integrante di esse. E proprio per questo, quando non ci sono più, è uno strappo al cuore. Capisco, più di quanto immagini. La vita continua comunque, ogni giorno torna l'alba e la sera il tramonto. Ogni giorno c'è una nuova vita, che sia di un essere umano, o di un cucciolo a quattro zampe, questo è il CICLO DELLA VITA. Doloroso, faticoso, certamente, e non sai come vorrei abbracciarti forte. Nuove vite arriveranno a caricare il tuo cuore di gioia. Un bacione grande grande grande. Paola
RispondiElimina@ Paola
Eliminale tue dolci parole leniscono il mio dolore, ancora vivo, il mio cuore ancora soffre per la sua assenza alla quale è difficile avvezzarsi, abbiamo trascorso molti anni insieme durante i quali il nostro piccolino ci ha fatto dono di tutto sé stesso, della sua allegria, della sua giocosità e del suo amore ... ci manca tantissimo !
Grazie per le tue parole di conforto, carissima amica, ti sento vicina con il cuore ✿⊱╮
wonderful images! so sorry for the loss of your cat. <3

Dear Daniela, I'm sorry my visit is so belated. We are in Kansas City visiting my husband's only sister. It is a two day drive to come here and my sweet Blue Monday friends did not get timely visits. We are very happy to take this vacation. I will be posting for Blue Monday on May 30th. and I hope to have more time to visit then.
RispondiEliminaYour post about the loss of your kitty and then the rebirth of the birds and the bunnies is so sad and happy. We have felt the pain of losing two of our dear pets over the years. It is the way of life and I think in after thought, it makes us love the creatures and pets even more. I love the photos you shared.
Happy Blue Monday.
Hugs,
Jeanne
