Today’s Mosiac of Words

“What do you think the moon tastes like?”

 

“Are you good or bad?”

 

“This is pixie dust, but I call it wizard dust.”

 

“Shine your light.”

 

“Mom and Dad sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s…”

 

“I believe in fairies.  Do you?  I believe in them so much.”

 

“It’s ok, you’re just learning.”

In the Heart

Jeb is home from school with the sniffles.

I toast bread, slice oranges and make ginger tea.  Steam rises from Jeb’s epsom salt bath in the morning sunlight.

David Gray sings low as I fold dish towels.

The air is ever so slightly crisp and the cool hints of winter in California tickle my heart.  Remembering my time there last year.  I will be returning soon.

All that has transpired since last December.  Love found and lost.  Hope inspired and dashed.

Deep inside I feel a wellspring that insists not to give up.  Watch the steam lift to the air like magic, trust and follow the thread.  Follow the heart.
