I watched today with joy in my heart.
The reason being I knew you were having fun.
I imagine you were/are parents of dogs.
The ones with the biggest smiles made me laugh to myself.
As did the ones who were crabby.
Such a beautiful interpretation of the life of dog parents.
You kids, dat was magical genius.

Your Brilliant Mistakes
There are times I think about writing all of my thoughts about everything for you.
But I wonder if any of it would make sense to you now.
Maybe years away is when you'd gain insight.
So, for now it's hard to know what to say to you, what to write.
I know you're exhausted from trying to be everything you've been for those you love.
Just know you've earned your crown so let it sit beautifully and brilliantly on top of your head.
Your mistakes, forgive yourself.
Every time.
I know where you're kept tightly woven into the fiber of my being.
And with me you will remain until you no longer need me.
Then is when I'll fly away and love you from afar.
Watching your brilliant mistakes thinking about how they don't seem like mistakes at all.

Poetic Chaotic Smile
When we talk to an open mind, we learn extensively.
We discover what is right, and what is wrong, according to perspective.
It is our responsibility to choose what we think.
A prayer in motion with the golden rule in mind and heart.
Of course, we will make mistakes.
These will lead us to understand.
There are numerous standpoints with unusual views.
None of them actually right or wrong, according to equivalent attitudes.
The perspectives we choose to have pair us with matching interpretations.
In the process of making discoveries, we formulate opinions based on these findings.
I find it more important than ever to try my best to keep an open mind.
For when I decide to make a decision based off of what I know, my children might be thinking the opposite way.
And we do understand they (our children) are our leaders just as much as we are theirs.
And we do want to nurture their brilliant minds and their sweet souls as we nurture ours.

Apple Bergen
Her zipper was down but she was at home.
His zipper was down in the store.
Your zipper has been down at home.
There is no bathroom in the store.
That genius yellow light above your head is something similar to Edison.
And you, female, too perfect.
I don't look like that right now.
But you look like the most tasty apple treat imaginable.
Just bring my bank bag with you to work, and come home, America.
I inherited that without my name.
But I just want to be myself.
I resemble more of the bag lady type.
Aka: New Mom
And I peed my pants a little bit.
That was funny to me.
I like it that way.
It's liberating to let go of what doesn't serve the essence of us.
But you, I just have to trust.
As you just have to trust me.
Apple Bergen, I just love that name.

Parents
We've met some extraordinary people in life.
Most of my dearest I've known and grew up with my entire life.
But, once in a while, someone glides into our life and enkindles us so much we permeate vitality.
Once in a while, we understand what it feels like to truly and deeply respect someone.
Once in a while we have to look at them with only our eyes, from deep within our soul, to grasp the magnitude of their brilliance.
Once in a while, when we look at someone like that, we realize that someone is our parent, carrying within them, every single piece of us.

Warm Baby
I want to laugh. I want to laugh because it feels good and it's really fun to laugh and feel like laughing.
Sometimes it feels good to cry.
Sometimes we get to cry when we watch a sad movie or we are so happy about something that it moves us to tears.
When you get scared, know that I get scared too. The only thing to be scared of is feeling scared. Once we experienced being scared we either want to laugh or cry.
When you get happy, know that I get happy too. The only thing to be happy about is feeling happy. Once we experience being happy we either want to laugh or cry.
Sometimes reasons don't have immediate explanations.
Sometimes understanding is a matter of time and space.
Somewhere leads us to the moon and the stars.
And every day the sun shines it's face on us and we experience the warmth of God.

Garden Painting
Paint a picture with me. One really fetching and keep it safe so we can look at it again and again. To re imagine what it was, to think of what it can be and to treasure it for what it is.
That's what I want to do with you is just sit in the garden and paint.
You're everything for me, for us, when I'm not sure you even think you're anything.
Sometimes I wonder if you're aware of my presence.
I respect your gentleness.
Even through times of great trials your pedigree communicates appreciable disposition.
And I love you, especially when I love myself.

Yellow Roses
My brother and I spoke about making one area of the garden yellow. The area is already primarily yellow with flowers, evergreen shrubs and a new plant that has yellow flowers that smell like honey. All we need now are some yellow roses.
Yellow roses are known to symbolize "joy, wisdom, power and good wishes" according to https://www.pinterest.com/pin/26740191520041054/.

Butter Honey Bread
We make our interpretations.
Listening to stories with no voices dressed up as music.
Judging with our opinions and conclusions.
I giggle like a little girl when I think of us sometimes.
All of us.
We are something to laugh about often.
I just want to hear you in your quiet space.
Unoccupied and doing nothing.
Maybe some crickets chirping at night.
Maybe some birds chirping in the morning.
Warm pita bread with honey and butter.
And some words to write.
Maybe 500 tomorrow.
Fat chance.
