Roots Deep

The support we have blesses us so
We have so much, enough to grow

Our family and loved ones, roots deep like a tree
Fast, graceful and enduring, the weeping willow is

Beautiful like water from a well placed underground
Close to the center of the Earth where all of creation is formed

Like the soil that comes from a volcano
Prolific creation

Blessed Support

Quiet Space

I don't feel like music 

I've been listening to it all day

The way I constantly contradict myself when I talk to my kids

Makes my head spin in circles 

Sometimes I think I'm just talking out loud to myself

Correcting my mistakes and teaching myself how to go about life

Amaze

Every day my kids amaze me. The looks they give, the smiles they show, the way they laugh, eat, move and speak cause me to think, to play and to love.
