A Fifth Season is a place of pause to grieve the death of my first and only child. A season characterized by reflection on the big stuff and the little stuff that this mom encounters as I parent the memory of my child, and my child, in loving return, parents my heart.

On Passing a Graveyard
On this Memorial Day, I am remembering and honoring those who died in service.
On Passing a Graveyard (by John O'Donohue)
May perpetual light shine upon
The faces of all who rest here.
May the lives they lived
Unfold further in spirit.
. . . .
May we reverence the village of presence
In the stillness of this silent field.
