marching on


us arrogant folk believe we have some say over what happens in our lives- ha. i nod to the elegant mommy penguin. i have just had the most aggressively annoying day. nothing going "my way". (yeah, EXACTLY.)
i come home. i bow. i do the laundry, the dinner, i turn on the tree lights and light a fire. i pour myself a glass and rest. yes, i see. i am not always right.
so. here comes bedtime. per usual, my son is one step ahead. in bed, holding forth the book "A Mother's Journey". calm face. huge brown eyes. he knows. I read and hold back the tears. if you haven't seen "March of the Penguins", go now. it's all about knowledge. supreme intuition. what it means to be alive. a mommy. a daddy. a family.
i am so. blessed.
