ideas.
in my little front yard
mama and papa rabbit
stand guard
ever watchful
waiting for babies
to hop out of the nest
and
head out into the world
all on their own
excited
full of curiosity
and
fresh ideas.

“ideas are like rabbits.
you get a couple and learn how to handle them,
and pretty soon you have a dozen.

grow.
we plant
we nourish
we shop
and
we learn
from the farmers at the market
we become farmers with our own market.

the farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization.”

climbing.
unlocked the door
with the secret key
climbed way up high
into the secret tower
with
the kinders
up and up and up
the
spiral staircase
with
stone walls
tiny windows
brave hearts
and
a wondrous view from the top.
—
“a well-ordered life is like climbing a tower;
the view halfway up is better than the view from the base,
and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands.”

knowing mom.
early mother’s day surprise movie present
courtesy of
my daughters
who remember prince and his music
as a part of their days
growing up with me
and
we
watched him on the big screen
and
sang and danced
with 1,000 other people
of all ages
who remembered him too
and we even
smuggled in food
in a big purse
just like the days
when we didn’t have a lot of money
but we did have
a lot of dollar movies
a lot of music
and
a whole lot of love.
—
happy mother’s day to all who mother
and to those who really know their mothers.
