Everything Grows in my Mother's Garden

Happy Mother's Day

My mother and sisters instilled the love
of wire, glitter and dirt.
Wire represents the fencing of our menagerie
of animals. Dirt represents my mother's love
of gardening.
Glitter represents, my oldest sister's, Mericia, love of domestic arts.
Number two sister, Dulce, loved and cared for
our animals and plants.
She allowed me to gather chicken egg and plant seeds.

My recollection of Mericia is in vibrant color tempered
with faithful grace.  Dulce is quiet, her presence is calming,
stable and rooted.
