Mater Amabilis ~ AJC Narthex
It was our first Narthex meeting today. There was only the three of us, but we had a really nice time. Good discussion, and good coffee. (oh, and good cookies too, if I DO say so myself :) ) Can't wait til next month!
Another year almost here
October 7th will be two years. Two years that she has been gone. I can't say I 'had' a daughter. That seems like such blasphemy. The correct term to me is 'HAVE' a daughter. But she is no longer huggable. I can no longer hear her laughter or her voice. I can't look forward to any more of her accomplishments because there are none. Autumn again, and it's the same smell in the air. The same quirky wind and dampening light. The time of year I have always loved. Now it's also the time of year that I remember the knock on my door. The face that uttered words telling me she was gone. Autumn décor goes up, as does a sense of dread. Macabre song of leaves in the trees. This year also has included the end of my marriage. Though truthfully it ended long ago, it took a long time to realize that there was no light to sustain it. Just angry words and poison. Seeds from the harvest, in fruit that is past its time, Sink into the earth. From the decay comes life they
Wish I could have participated! =) When I first started attending St S, there were very often only 3 of us! Keep up your beautiful work and I'll be remembering you during my times of contemplation. =) Thanks for linking to me again! I have a link to Mater Amabilis, too. <3
