when your child returns home
How to begin writing
when your mind returns
after weeks of
… wandering off
How to begin
after stepping away
even for a day
How to begin
telling your story
when yours
is intertwined
with the stories of
those you love
and theirs
are purposely
not visible
to anyone but you
How to begin knowing
where your writing
will take you
is taking you
now
How to begin responding
to that tug of passion
when you have so
carefully submerged
your
shall we say
pre-mom self
for so long
How to begin
and when you begin
How to reach back
for what you need
or trust
it will appear
beside you
along the way.

Are you the babysitter? 
What beautiful pictures. It’s hard leaving a wonderful trip and returning home to reality.
It is. Plus, reality this week includes Miss E at Camp Grandma. Good fun for everyone, and yet… odd.
