Two Months

Breakfast with my son at a cool Philly insider eatery

A seamless drive down I-95

Unloading a few bags at Mom's and flipping on the A.C.

Taking away the spent blossoms in their vases and 

Cutting more to replace them

Noticing what has changed since last I was here

What now is gone and the space it's created

A Zoom meeting for the anthology project

Mad discussion around so many things

This is so fun

In September it will be done

A moment to breathe, then, and 

Sip lemon-infused water

Take that minute and breathe

Heading over to my brother's for crabs

It is summertime in Washington after all

Remembering Mom 

Two months after her death

Creating Space: Three Months of Showing Up for What's Showing Up is a daily writing practice. Turns out that a lot of this writing explores the landscape of grief. My mother died shortly before I began this writing, and this is what I'm thinking about most of the time these days.
