I thought about...

I thought about my adult children,

and how sometimes I feel them.

I smile to myself.

Sometimes I sense when

they are worried.

I call them.

Check in.

After all, their cells

come from my body.

There’s a connection beyond

everyday awareness.

The other day,

I thought about my cells,

having come from Mother Earth,

and having that same connection with me

as I do with my kids.

I wondered if she

tunes into me,

and smiles to Herself

in knowing where I’m at.

Suddenly, so much made sense.
