My kids have been away since September with their Mom. This has been one of the most difficult passages of my life. I've been to see them a few times but how can going from seeing them all the time to once a month be anything like enough?
They arrive for 2 weeks on the solstice, Dec 22. Then it's six more months of this until July when they are with me for summer holidays and back here permanently.
Enough preamble:
They bring the light
Shining in their small cupped hands
pouring from their beautiful faces
The world turns and my heart with it
The bulls of Bashan are set at nought
My heart sings with life
My children are home

Have you ever had one of those moments wherein you wanted to simply sit silently beside someone knowing that silence is the most dignigied and presence is the best gift? You can't do that electronically.
The internet is a case where silence requires the border of words in order to be known. By your words I know your silence and presence.
Thank you
have a blessed Christmas with them.
