….my inner mechanisms…
I am...
Mother to a beautiful, magical, mystical, brilliant, kindhearted, Son.
Laughter and Love and Weeping with all my heart, in joy, euphoria, empathy, compassion, fear loss and grief.
Song and Story within my soul with the enjoyment and possession of expression.
Voice with clarity of sound and control that has been an appendage and my bliss.
Friend to humans and animals and blessed by friendship in return.
Optimist believing the best is yet to come and filled with hope and excitement for what tomorrow brings.
Caregiver and peace keeper.
Curious over thinker, a weigher of options, reserving judgment to find a reasonable solution.
Student and consummate learner of new things and an improver and developer of skills.
Survivor with gratitude and amazement for where I have been, who I am, and what I’m becoming.
Believer in the Universe and that we are all connected.
Curator and collector of antiquities, trinkets, paintings, everything my child ever drew, vintage books, pottery, vinyl albums, rocks and shells, musical instruments and people.
Afraid of offending others, spiders, sharks, loss, anger, pitch dark rooms and betrayal.
Private and constantly encouraging myself to be less so.
Ordinary and blessed with extraordinary opportunities.
I am thriving and living and content.
