In Our Mother's Garden

My Zoo

I live in a zoo. We have lizards, cockroaches, mosquitos, squirrels that overturn trash in the kitchen, spiders, centipedes, moths, crickets and a dog outside chasing the rats at night.
So believe me when I say I am not bored. I am NOT!

P.S. ...and ants that cool their eggs on my dish-washing rag.

Pregnant Destiny

I don't really remember now whether it was a short moment of intensified pain, of unbelief and of dissapointment or if it was the all consuming affliction lasting weeks, flowing into the months that like rusted nail pierced the raw flesh of my heart.

I screemed, anguished, in a hope of any help, for deliverance, and only silent walls and moonless night seemed to respond, with self-confidence, promised to contain it all and witnessed to my burdened soul.

With broken ideals, cherished dreams, unfulfilled intentions and shaken world of my inner man...whether in a moment or lasting eternity...I rose up by the grace, I heard both hope and faith calling me, charging me to walk, to walk the destiny pregnant of promises.

That's after we got tired and frustrated with our candy...

Big Candy and No Teeth

Before she got frustrated.

Midnight

I often have to say so much but it always happenes to be at midnight. Especially the big philosophical issues and global matters.

So some times I end up talking to myself or to my pillow as my husband drifts away in a cloud of sleep enveloping him.

Thats why best of my thinking is not known.

Nights are meant for the sleep after all.
