Things that don't line up

 


My morning walk route..


I am a bundle of contradictions.


I live in the most beautiful house- between a forest and a river,

In a space that aspirations are made of. 

Yet, I don’t own 8 matching dinner plates.



I am a bundle of contradictions.


I drive a car with three pointed stars,

The seats can be warmed while I move between galaxies. 

Yet, I can’t point towards three constellations in the sky for my children.


I am a bundle of contradictions.


I am surrounded by abundance in more ways than I can count,

I feel loved and cherished- every day of the week.

And- most of my socks have holes in them.


I am a bundle of contradictions.


I have travelled to more countries than my son can yet name.

Even to the ones I didn’t know existed till I was 28.

And- I ate Thai food in each one of them.


Mother's Day gift by my daughter 


I am a bundle of contradictions. 


Unpredictable in the most predictable ways.

Slightly mended, somewhat restored, and often I have nothing to say. 


I am a bundle of contradictions,

My life-spilling on the shelf of neatly stacked books,

and yet, I am magically complete.
