X-MAS

Ribbons and bows
Joys replace woes
Suspended strife
Focus on glories of life
Hearts as full as bellies
Smiles as warm as hearths
Silent union across Earth
As we bow our heads
Lift our souls
And give thanks
Blessed rest
Ready to open the door for more…of whatever 2023 may be

The window remains
The pane the same
But the view has changed along with her name
What began as a dance now a steadfast stance
Took a chance on romance
Its roots dug deep-grew a child, birthed a family-beautiful fruits of labor
From girl to woman, lover, partner, mother
Not yet old, but feeling time begin to fold
Living in the chasm’s interim
Laughter, tears, worry, joy, fears
Emotions once shuffled like toys, then questioned as ploys, now simply a fluid way of life
Surfing some, wading others
Toe dips, deep plunges, lazy breaths on sunny rocks, gasping for air between undulating knocks
Rhythmic flow in the zone
Alternately joyous, wondering, terrified, and thrown
Blissful sail of peace gives them all momentum, meaning-to a common centered place, a safe space
Home
Home is where the heart is
Maybe home is the heart
When nearer to the end where does one begin and the other end?
Traveler
Posted on: December 7, 2022
Time a tapered ticket taker on the platform of never ending travel
Soul weary or taking flight
Another midnight journey-frightened delight
Wanting only to be near a friend…or the end
Stop on the tracks
Look at the mountains rolling back
Get off and run naked through the blanketed grass-feeling the blades tickle your ass
Laugh without worry or care
Be all that you dare
Stare down the walls-obstacles in disguise-really just opportunities to rise
Travel alone together
Occasionally, or on the regular
Here, there, or anywhere
Just Travel.

I keep his picture clear before me on my desk to see every day. His back turned in free, unfiltered movement-not to exclude, but to explore. A constant reminder for me to hold the space for him, while simultaneously letting him discover his own way. Parenting- the ultimate paradox, a challenging reward of investing so much with no guarantee of return…will the foundation you laid continue to solidify their steps, or will life (and their choices) create cracks upon which they stumble and fall? More importantly, did you prepare them to get up, and continue in faith and trust amidst all the soft and hardened ground? What will you be privy to in their deepest thoughts and experiences, and what will be kept from you, whether or not it should be?
A deeper space in my heart lit up when he was born, one I never knew existed, and one that can now never be extinguished. All I can do, all any of us mothers can do, is accomplish the impossible feat of being a revolving door of security, love, boundaries, and freedom…to always be there as they come and go, with one arm extended to catch, embrace and hold, and the other open wide to let them go out again on the other side.
Life

Loving
Longing
Being believing
Doubting questioning
Free fall Faith
Birth to death
Breath between
We smile as easily as frown until we realize there is no crown, or competition to rule
You are your own sovereign, infusing life with merriment, meaning, or strife
A blink and it’s done just as it’s begun…heart full of laughter, knowing, and questions-deepened exposed, yet still mystery unfolds
Will it end, or eternally bend in a loop of souls-wondrous creation, elation, mind boggling ethereal ascension
A life is grown as much from the unknown as what is certain
We are born to live, love, learn & grow…enjoy and die-to be reborn again
For what or when only Spirit knows and with it all grows and glows
