The most sacred thing is a child's innocence;
his trust the most inviolate.

I'm a hobbyist photographer, a school counselor, a health junkie, and a mom. But above all, I'm just a woman living my truth. My biggest happiness in life is to savour each moment while it happens. That's all. That's everything.

this morning



last night the images were sharp

clear

real

it was large as life

and I saw with clarity

as if with new eyes


this morning

the faint echoes

(of your presence)

awoke me

they were faded, receding

I grasped at them

but they left

like mist curling in the air


last night I saw

I heard

I felt

(I felt)


this morning

I wept

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before.
The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
