So here we are again. It has been so long since we shared this space together. So much has changed. There are so many things I should have told you, but the words have slipped through my fingers.
<^>
I, who have never been a mother, have been told to mother four children. However, I am supposed to always keep in mind that I am not their mother. Being without a mother myself, I am often at a loss when I find myself needing motherly advice about mothering. I need to know how to keep from smothering.

I don’t hear God, but I know He is there. This could be a comfortable, companionable silence or it could be something else…

My new favorite new phrase is "fractured intentions" (from Still by Lauren Winner). What is your favorite new thing?
Nice to see this space with words in it again. And good words, too. Thanks.
