blood of our mother

blood of our father

beats in both of our hearts

because we are sisters

but we are not the same



now you will go

and i will go

on as before

we are not close

we are not alike

but when you stumble i stumble too

and when you rejoice i rejoice too

because you are my sister


this blood we share joins our hearts


poets united

    There is such strong connection between sisters.... I do understand that, even if you and she are not the same. Blood connection is strong.

    This is WONDERFUL. I love it so much. How sweet to find a poem to a sister in response to the prompt. I love that when she rejoices, you rejoice too. True sisters.

    Sisters! how deep that shared and differentiating blood must run. I never had a blood sister, but my long time sister-friends feel this deep. Very fine.

    Oh my gosh, I just took a picture of a heart-shaped rock like this. I love this picture, and the poem is very nice too.

    Happy Valentine's Day, my friend.

    Love,

    Nothing in this world can change that. For blood is thicker... so they say! Nicely asos!

    sigh. there's a purity to this, with the repetition working so effectively, the near doubling, like sisters ~

    A superb facet of a heart connection. Not always warm blooded though, as I personally know.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
