Hubby got off to his trivia tournament without one word from me about ms mandy. I’m so proud of myself. They are not playing on the same team and he’s running late – storm coming tonight so he’ll feel the push for home… We’ve been doing good. Sports and trivia together and I’m still tending me as well as him. I do have to say I hope she doesn’t say she’s coming to meet the guys for trivia while I’m away in Virginia. I’m trying to not worry since everything else is ok –
Change
It's cold outside
And yet I'm drawn Into the moon's pure light
I raise my hands; entreating.
Where is your voice grandmother?
My questions tumble together.
I am WOMAN.
What is normal?
What changes should I expect?
When?
Who can I go to?
What should I do?
How do I change?
Why must I be the example
when there is none for me?
Shhhh . . .
Quiet . . .
Stand in the light . . .
Wait . . .
And it comes to me.
WOMAN
Mother
Questioner
Be still.
Hear the answers.
Life is change.
We do what must be done.
We sing.
We dance.
We cry.
We love.
We live.
WE are the grandmothers.
Are you home yet? How is that sweet new baby? Will you be planting seeds in those beautiful raised beds? I have some seeds that I’d like to send you if you’ll be planting, just let me know. xo
