Benediction


I spent two days drifting through a land filled with emotion, laughter, moving easily up and down without wondering if there would be a slip or a fall or a moment of silence because shared silence is a comfort of sorts a breath taken to celebrate the presence, the present of the being together. Music always backlit the scene and sometimes drove us to move but more often to smile or shout no, no. and search for something less jarring to our perfection.

When you talk about everything nothing all at once the jumble becomes a sort of poetry and the silly becomes hilarity that would rival lucy and ethel in the chocolate factory. To always be so open to the warp and weave of words, to wallow like this, slatternly utterly relaxed with no thought of agenda but only of the flow It seemed to carry us onward from one moment to the next, without effort.

Food and candles on the porch, spotting pears in the tree that for some reason must be picked in the deep darkness. How lovely to watch, boneless, smoking as a hand reached into the branches plucking fruit I could not even see. Then six green pears on the table as we pondered what we would do. Cook them to spoon over ice cream, or simply admire them forever as they shone in the shadowy light.

Faces change as you stare at them, they dance from one face to another in light and shadow. I watched seeing more than one person before me wondering as I did which one was the one I found most real, most tempting to the eye, most like the soul I think I hold within me but drifting, I let it go. pieces to be assembled and not by me.

Time spent like this, with someone you love, you trust is deeply soothing. It feeds your soul. Reminds you that there are spaces where you can be where everything feels exactly like it should. Even when you are crying you are safe.

You cannot conceive the many without the one.

I experienced something similar and rare and wonderful last night.

My daughter's 3 closest friends live far away...last night 2 of them were in town, and I was blessed enough to sit on the outside of the circle and experience their love and joy at being together, if even for a few hours. Laughing and giggling... I love these girls as my own...they are amazing, beautiful, women...and they love and support one another. You can see in their faces the absolute acceptance and knowing that these women, their best friends, are just grateful to be near one another.

I've watched them like this their whole life. My heart is so full right now. One of the other Mamas was there for awhile too...and I know she feels exactly the same. We sat together and chatted, watching "our girls"...amazed and blessed and so very proud of them.
