… and am Speechless.
(Waited on by smiling eyes I cannot see
yet, for am blinded to these things ..;
Still,
your voice reaches me,
from within -
how do you do that,
how on earth
do you do that…)

Sometimes the Earth holds me too close, so close I cannot breathe
sharp-edged leaf and bark shimmering in the sun,
why can’t I just go about my business like everybody else,
why bother about eagles and sparrows making friends in the tree with the nest
- its branch flirting with electric wires, and the light
why should I care.

Sometimes, we are so attached to our way of life that we turn down wonderful opportunities simply because we don’t know what to do with it. — Paulo Coelho

Open my mind...
I find it very hard to explain reflections : these 360 degrees of Light and colour smudging waters. How do you describe that to someone who cannot see ?
I try, and he says, " Oh it feels lovely. "
( I want to know what he's feeling and shut my eyes...)
'Lighten up, seriously ....'
Has taken me a few years to really understand John Fears' words as we said bye to each other, Schipol airport. I never met him again, and I can say here if there was one person that really influenced the way I wrote/write it is this amazing man who Aired WhatTheyBelieve once every week BBC.
Walk with me ?
After the rains, came the little creatures – krizillion wings and colour – blends that vary with the light. Photography and words are one dimensional stills of the real thing.
How much more is there to see differently – will one life time do ? If we walked together in the trees, would we see differently, thru’ each others’ lives ?
Would it re- arrange the way we buy our furniture and cut our trees ? Re- write our constituents, re – define our needs…
I think we should walk more often, together, among our histories.

All I want is to see you smile Mom, see you well safe and happy;for all the miles you’ve done, the detours and the invisible sacrifice, even the visible – I am blest knowing you, that you are, this sweet, Mother.Of mine….
For one solitary moment today I was a child again, and could not believe I have these three fabulous kids of my own. Thank you dear friends here who have written in with wishes, I thank you, and wish you and yours, your homes and lives, your moms and grandmoms, your neighbours moms,everyone – I wish you a good life, really truly, every good thing.
Am grateful for the joy of being mom at all – we had a seven year pause with no kids – I know how it feels to have no kids. For those who long to be moms, and it never happened, I really really want to say, the best we can be is humane.

Wild Flowers to My Mother
I saw your smile in the shimmer of the ocean
I heard your voice in the bird's song
I sensed your gentle being in the wind
and you hugged me when the rain came.
*
You let me know you loved the bouquet
of hepatica we brought to your hospital room
on the morning of your last day, Mother's Day…
