For my mother -- RIP
I have your black iron skillets
and a bamboo plant to remember you by,
*
along with these memories of friendship and
love between a mother and her son.
*
We gave you care and attention to which
you were unaccustomed,
*
and you didn’t always know how to handle that.
Your trauma ran deep. We see that now.
*
You’ve moved on to the Great Beyond, part of
the Oversoul, the Swirl of consciousness that is All Things.
*
Your suffering has ended. For that I am grateful.
Find your twin, lost so long ago, and run free together once again.

Time for #2
This is the second article on my review of the ideas in The Four Agreements. Here's the first article: I knew that I'd move forward with this series, but I put it off as Agreement #2 is a big stumbling block for me. I'd like to say I decided to get out of my own way and thus wrote this, but that isn't the truth. (Since Agreement #1 is to Be Impeccable with Your Word I surely need to own up to that)
