Some things I love…
- Raleigh’s face when he is sleeping-the way his lips almost pucker, and the freckles on his nose
- The way pumpkin’s feet feel when they walk over my body laying under a blanket
- Coffee in the morning
- Mary Oliver’s poetry
- The feeling I get under my blankets in the morning when I first wake up, my skin against soft sheets
- Looking at the sky and clouds and tops of trees
- Knowing the names of birds
- Feeling peaceful
- Feeling strong
- Beautiful bodies
- Feeling connected
- A good cry
- Uncontrollable giggles
- My feet
- My hands
- My face
- Black cotton dresses
- Raleigh’s wooden parrots
- Floating
- That there will always be more to learn
Some things I am afraid of…
- Disappointing other people
- Disappointing myself
- Going backwards
- Being alone forever
- Settling
- Being seen
- Being invisible
- Beer
- Failing at mothering
- Not being enough
Some things that I used to think would kill me, but have learned they will not…
- Telling the truth
- Dissapointed people
- Being seen
- Asking for help
- Failing
More things I love…
- Train whistles
- House plants
- When people exceed my expectations
- When I remember to not have expectations
- That there are planets and stars that we can mark the passage of time against
- That there are things I will never understand
