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.
