here already
Where the last 18 years went I’ll never know. My daughter is graduating Monday and it doesn’t seem logical or real. She has been nothing but pure bliss to raise and I’m so honored to be connected to her. Her gentle spirit blends beautifully with her activist heart and her imprint is already out there in the world. Aside from being terribly busy preparing for the party and graduation activities, I’ve been plunged into a time of reflecting. Needless to say, the tears have been my steady companion! From her birth I am different, a better human being because of her. This writing below describes much of how I feel about her.
"i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you, here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)"
e.e. cummings
Awwww!!! Congratulations to your sweet daughter!!!! May all she sets her heart on in life succeed! (I was going to say “all she attempts” but some “failure” is good for us, it teaches us to think creatively if our first attempts don’t always succeed.)
