Keep the many phases of motherhood!
All a mother needs for strength these days are in the eyes of those she birthed. For her, nothing remains the same and opening up is like Spring season, a moment when words start to speak on their own whether silently or loud. For her, the sun never goes down. The moon is like a…

Keep knowing this is life is for spinning again!
The sounds I hear this evening are of the footsteps of little boys, thuds from books dropping, clanging of tall beige blinds, opening or closing of doors, pages of books too, little boys reading out loud, on bears, about bears, that we question what we are doing here. There are cups clanging, plates too, little…

Keep following your bright star!
There up in the sky, there like a season, a greeting, in the darkness of the night, are stars shining brightly for all those moments you bless in pain, those you cherish for no gain, every single time, you wished time passed gently, leaving nothing behind, whether the day remembers or the night forgets, know…
