poetry for my babies

There in the sky is a light

A light that is bright both day and night

One in the day that warms us

One at night that shows us our place

in space

The sun. The moon.

Yes. I think its true.

When you think about something you often see it very soon.

I was thinking that I'd like a nice Bob Dylan song book and

voila

one big, fat book (only one) at my local Border's Bookstore.

That is really something. It might have been there anyway BUT I noticed it because I was thinking of one and

there is was.

My Magic Girl

Oh wow.

I cannot go without posting today.

Today is my child's Sweet Sixteenth Birthday.

Here is my story about her.

She smiled a moment after she was born. Pushing up from her stomach and beaming rays of light into the world.

She is strong and beautiful and creative and full of coordinations that few ever show.

She is wise.....wiser than I am.

She is magic.

Pure magic.

Happy Birthday honey pie. KiKi. Nicole-ee-wole--ee.
Happy Birthday to you.

Sparkling Things.

Shiny and sparkling
Glimmers of light

Sending their fragments of beauty

To the eyes.

Music is good for the soul

I went out to listen to music a couple nights ago. It was bluegrass. It was an open playing night and the room was full of fiddles, guitars, basses, banjos, harmonicas.
Everyone made a big circle and just played.
Occasionally someone would sing along.

It hit the spot, like a drink of fizzy soda on a thirsty day.

Little Miss Sunshine

My adventure today was in my mind. Reflection and understanding of who I really am.
Perfection and imperfections.

Mother of three really spectacular children who love me..........a lot.
This is critically important to my life. It is critically important to how I will handle myself with my current state of being. It will be one of those challenges I face uniquely well and philosophically.

Yes.
I am a philosopher.
I am

I have big, wonderful plans for me. Plans that wouldn't be possible without a shake up.

I want things to be .....magical

Hola

I didn't make lasagna tonight......speghetti instead.

My travels for today were walks in the rain with a gaggle of children walking with me. We took umbrellas and went around the block looking at wet newspapers turning into mush and worms drowning in puddles in near the curb and oil slicks in the same puddles.

It was a hot, humid tropical rainy day.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
