Unknowingly Known (Mother's Day 2024)

it all begins

with a radical Risk

a Leap of Faith

into the Unknown

for the sake

of Incarnate Love

in the form

of an Unknown

yet Knowing intuitively

that the Journey

through murky uncertainty

into unbelievable Birth

is worth the danger

like a friend request

sent to a familiar

and Beloved stranger

allowing the Life

of another to enter

the deepest, most vulnerably

intimate places within

opening up to embraces

from faces only imagined

appearing in surprising places

endearingly and perpetually

in spaces that stretch

the sinews and warm

the Senses and Souls

Eternally like a Manger

and while the Path

winds its wild Way

through blind alleys

and dark valleys

over dazzling peaks

at dizzying heights

like a maniacal

and Mystical rollercoaster

there are no regrets

only plenty of Re-Gifts

that Miraculously Multiply

with each Giving

if not like rabbits

at least like remnants

precious and rare

(sometimes rarely shared)

of a limitless Love

that keeps on living

through precious reminiscences

amidst painful remisses

over endless distances

and friendless absences

with a Pulse

that keeps Pumping

and a Heart

that keeps Hoping

and a Grace

that keeps Guiding

and a Courage

that keeps Encouraging

from the very start

through every chart

of unimaginable weather

even when apart

always intrinsically Together...

for all our Mothers 

and Nurturing Others...

Thanks.
