WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL MOTHER

We have a beautiful
mother
Her hills
are buffaloes
Her buffaloes

We have a beautiful
mother
Her oceans
are wombs
Her wombs
oceans.

We have a beautiful
mother
Her teeth
the white stones
at the edge
of the water
the summer
grasses
her plentiful
hair.

We have a beautiful
mother
Her green lap
immense
Her brown embrace
eternal
Her blue body
everything we know.

LOVE!  Thanks for this, Tina.  I was worried about you when you had gone missing and there were no posts from you.  You must have been having secret hiding place meetings to get some Summit stuff done!

Happy Earth Day back at you. Rode the bike today and did some prep work for a future vegetable garden. Stood outside after midnight last night and listened to the silence. Too cold for the frogs and most birds asleep. Owls where hooting somewhere. The sky was absolutely wonderful! The heavens were clear and the stars were amazing. Got out the star maps and found 3 new-to-me constellations. If the sky is clear you can see the Big and Little Dippers, Draco, Gemini, Leo, Orion, and Taurus. Plus lots of other things. You have an ocean I have a night sky. Hugs to all (especially that beautiful mother in all of us) Alice
