mother’s day…inside, outside, and in between

holding us inside
carrying us in her big round belly
suspending bouncing swimming
releasing us into the bigness that is life

holding us outside
cradling us in her arms
protecting instructing guiding
leading us down the path that is life

holding us in between
loving us in her ever-expanding heart
devoting yielding sustaining
urging us to become the beauty that is life

to all the mamas in our wide world, to momina…
happy mother’s day!

sending a little love your way, m
