Musings on my transformations from one version of me to another. There are many chapters in My Story, some that I want, and try, to quickly finish and others that I want to hold on to forever. There are even some chapters that refuse to let go of me. But as each chapter comes to a close, and I turn the page, I find my soul reshaped, remolded. My Story is the evolution of me as a daughter, wife, sister, friend and a mother. The evolution of a woman.

Mothers Walk the Middle
Mothers walk the middle
Until it turns sideways.
Bound together.
You to your mom,
Me to you,
Both to the daughters of different times.
Gifts given and gifts un-given.
Gazing back from all angles.
Sideways squints.
Forward projections.
Bloodlines
No time to stop.
Stop. Time.
All on our own now.
Past emotions mix with new definitions.
Identity dissolved into the middle.
Until usurped by another Mother.

Wow! Great word choices! Kind of overwhelming. Love it and will be re/re/re-reading it with joyful nostalgia for an earlier time. Dad
