Heaven in a latte...

The One

Comic relief during a driver's commute often comes in the form of bumper stickers. My husband recently shared a good one with me...
"The next time you're feeling down, just remember you were the fastest sperm out of a million!"

I giggled, had a thoughtful moment, and replied, "I'd rather be the egg just waiting and ready to receive." What an analogy for life. All those sperm racing to the goal, charging toward the One who effortlessly awaits the possibility of creation. How yin/yang it all is.

Luv in my cup...

Soul Shining

One morning my Mother was translucent, her soul shining beyond her skin.
Her eyes shimmered with simple joy and no concerns clouded her mind.
I absorbed her and felt a quiet peace...
She told, me over and over again... I love you, I love you so much.

That moment, that day, is suspended within me.
Sometimes I unwrap it just to feel her...
then she stands beside me, her hand rests on my shoulder,
and something beyond perception flutters and fills my heart.
