What in me is darkIllumine, what is low raise and support,
That to the height of this great argument
I may assert eternal Providence,
And justify the ways of God to men
john milton
paradise lost book I line 22

all is quiet 'cept the twittering of our avian guests and the occasional sigh from leeloo who is lying contentedly on her stomach in her usual morning place in the kitchen doorway, her chin rested on her legs, paws stretched out in front of her, an epilogue to the night's peaceful repose.
come on sleepy things, we could do with the prologue to the rest of the day now
