Mother's Day - Some thoughts from a mother...

My child I gave life to you; I held you in my arms, a prescious gift indeed.
Everything I wanted to give to you, I wanted to do right to you!
And then life happened, life with it's twists and turns...
Unpredictable life, lesson's to be learned, re-acting to situations as they were thrown at me.
I did not choose these lessons my child, but I always tried to do my best as I knew how.
My best might not have been enough for you, but you will, may be, do everything better with your child... until life throws it's lessons at you...
So when you when you think of your mother today, remember: She ALWAYS tried her best!

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers!

So my first task was to learn to understand within me that I should let to live and what I should let to die. And in the process I should walk through the inner and outer worlds collecting my bones. And when my skeleton was complete, La Loba would sing about it and bring back the creature, my soul indestructible. Many nights passed until I find all my bones. Many expeditions to the underworld. Many ...

It has been a year...

I can't believe it has been over a year since my last post. Truth to be told I did not even write much... Sometimes I would take my book and pen and sat there and started scribbling and merely ended up with some diary style writing, not what I wanted. But what did I want to write about? I don't know... there are many stories I felt needed to be told and yet, who cares? Does anyone care if the stories were written, I don't think so... So back again, why write? For the past few years my little black book was my confidant, my best friend, my soul speaking, my safety net, my tears, my tantrums, my thoughts and prayers and sometimes the only way to keep on going....! So now after every tear had been shed, every prayer had been prayed there is this emptiness, nothing more needed to be said, it is all there in my little black books; so you see writing was therapy for me. I needed to write in order to heal and bring perspective back into my life.. And still...
