the world is different after rain
its marrows open, singing, astonished
its marrows open, singing, astonished
outlined in reflections and wet mirages
I mark myself in nothing now
in the endless movement of trembling
meeting no resistance, passing through
only freckled with the dailiness
of living and knowing we can wake up
like flowers opening their bright mouths

Pic: At and Nu surprised me with a M.U.M. (MakeUp Mother's Day) today. Their card was an "In Sympathy" card for being their mom. They think they're so ironic and funny. [eyeroll] After they finished laughing at their joke, we had a wonderful time raiding my closet for wedding attire to wear this weekend and picking out jewelry--with my kids clowning all the while. Then a leisurely lunch of sesame noodles (I'd already made that for dinner, I didn't know we were celebrating today) while watching Laapataa Ladies, until it was time to head off to various meetings and appointments. It was too rainy to do our usual Mother's Day gardening, but I get three days of travel with these loves later this week, so I'm sure there'll be plenty of opportunities to maximize our time.

Lololol they crack me up! In Sympathy! I love that sense of humour. It sounds like a lovely surprise!
Enjoy.
What a pleasant surprise. Enjoy your upcoming trip/family time.
I'm glad you find them funny, Nicole :)!
Thanks!
Thank you, Steph!
The sympathy card is funny! Your kids have a great sense of humor. I am glad you got a delayed celebration!!
So clever! They make me laugh.
I love the line "freckled with the dailiness"--that conveys the simplicity and quotidian image of something we do with regularity. Then the last line really bursts with life and surprise.
