full moon

Friday, September 24, 2010

some moments as mama are so harried. like today: too much to do before lunch, ravenously hungry when we got home. bags of groceries and a 30+ pound toddler in my arms, packages waiting on our doorstep, headache coming on, need a glass of water…

and other moments, so surprisingly sacred. awoke at 2am last night to noises from my daughter’s fitful sleep. 45 minutes later i was still up, and hungry. so that was me: nearly 3am eating a bowl of kitchari in my underwear, perched on a makeshift table (we’re still moving in) while strong, silver light from the full moon swept in through my kitchen windows. so full, happy. mama woman. all is well.
