Every Day Is Mother's Day

Whatever is our source is our mother.
We are reborn in every instant.
We are eternally reborn.


5/10/09
Dear Laura,

This day has a lot of context
Regarding labor and regarding rest

Things you have done for me
Things that we both can see

Surrounding us here in our little nest

Today is a day for family
We are busy doing our duty
Driving up and down
With smiles not frowns

Looking at the source of all that is
We call it mother
We call it father
What it really is we cannot say

Back to the church we will meet
With all the loved ones who make us complete

You will bring flowers and hope and faith
I will bring our children the buds of our youth

What is it all about?
We see each other
We touch each other
We share food with each other
We tell our stories to each other

So what if the sun sets?
We know it also rises

And we know our wounds will finally heal
And we know that love is really real
And we know that the world is truly vast
And we know this supper will not be the last

All my love,
Bix
