An Imperfect Fence Mends Hearts

We (Baba and I) have had this bamboo screen for quite some time with the intent of putting it up together. I have struggled with "how" this project was going to get done as I was always the "assistant" (aka tool holder, beverage bringer, etc...). Additionally, since his ascension touching Baba's tools has not come easy for me. However, today after putting out the garbage and recycling, I took and deep breath, found the bamboo roll and took it out of its packaging. I then embarked with our children on completing one of many tasks on Baba and I's get to list.

It was a beautiful lesson on measurements and their conversions as well as safety and proper used of tools (measuring tape and wire cutters). No tears this tool touching and using day! I am so honored that we (our children and I) continue to work well together. After putting away his tools, I could feel Baba's smile and hear him say "Good Job, Babe.Well done, my children!" and I nodded and said "Well, done indeed."

Love I Can See...

It has been 6 months, 185 days, 4440 hours, 266400 minutes, 15, 984,000 second ...adjusting to your ascension.  Our children and I  miss your body temple, voice, touch, smell.. beyond measure. Getting to know you as pure spirit, light, vibration, elemental... has been at times very emotional and fleshy  and I thank you for your soothing spirit making those heavy rains pass quickly and always always bringing bright beautiful rainbows behind each storm.


As I continue to travel  this season,  thank you so for what you have given and continue to give....Thank you for allowing us to be Super Heroes in our union! Thank you for allowing us to listen, dance, love in and live each of the love songs we heard as children, young adults and adults.  Thank you for taking all that hurt you watched women go through and never once bringing it into our union.
