Corona Birthday

It was strange to have a milestone birthday amidst lockdown. It was a full moon in Scorpio , a flower moon. It was a very reflective time. Of course I missed my mum and brother dearly along with other close family and friends who have moved on to other dimensions. I missed speaking to my mum on the phone, her voice, a simple “getting there love how are you?” From her raspy kind voice. I reminisced over much of the past in my mind without friends around to laugh with about all the falls and blunders, the folly, the romance, the hardship and lessons. I wondered about the future, about freedom, about art, about nation, about globalism, the economy, rising tensions, struggles, about the future of democracy and capitalism , about borders and the virus and the the dermatitis on my hands from constant soap, I wrote poems and songs and then scribbled most of it out, I had my doubts and then I played with my son and experienced a little of the wonder that fills his heart and mind and I was filled with faith in life, in human creativity , in problem solving and play, in our striving to be better, no matter how many times we fall over, there’s something there, living in spontaneity that gives me hope. We both love bubbles, we both love balloons, we both love guitars, we both love music, we both love flowers, we both love Bella, we both love our Mums, we both love chocolate cake and we both love hats ​. :)
