Take risks, Wise Woman…

Winter is coming on…The winter solstice is nearing.  I remember my mama not wanting winter to arrive.  I shared with her how Mother Earth sleeps during this time, allowing for her beauty rest to bring the magnificence of spring in March.  She smiled and commented, “I never though about it like that.”  I so miss my mama right now.  This photo is our last party together—my beautiful youngest daughter and I shared a Christmas tea party with lovely Ruthie—my dad always said “she was the prettiest woman he ever laid eyes on”!—right ’til he passed.  That’s what you call love.  Her gentleness and patience and kindness were all laced and woven into her physical beauty.  She taught me to take risks…I take them now in her honor.  How I wish I could just sit with her for a little while and listen to her wise woman wisdom.
