today i am thinking that sometimes receiving is itself a gift.
and i wonder why feeling needy
every once in a while
is such a vile thing.
answers are hatching, but
more incubation time is needed.
so many things are
washing up on the beach
during this month with my mother.
some i bring in and ponder.
other things i toss back into the ocean.
to those who took the time to reassure me, thank you.
you are salve to my soul.
here ‘n there
