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

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
