On this Mother’s Day, I just want to say thank you to my two pre-school sons, Issy and Benny.
I feel so lucky that I get to hang with you as you grow. To watch you play, to guide you, chat with you and cuddle with you.
You bring me so much light (and sometimes pain!) but WAY MORE light and I feel so lucky.
Issy – for your caring, loyal, sensitive, smart, wise and spiritual presence (I know you are only 4, but I feel this around you!)
Benny – for your loving, affectionate, musical, gentle, friendly, goofy and cuddly way of being.
I am on Wolfe island, near Kingston, this weekend and am sitting by the lack. I just saw a mama duck with her ducklings and I fee like I “get” her. Her intention to protect and nurture. I see it on her face.
When I look at the ducklings, I see you. You are my ducklings.
Thank you for letting me and embracing me as your “mama duck”.
