Tender With Our Moments


 This prompts me to tend more alertly to my flower pots.
I love the phrase "each moment beading the rosary of our mortal lives";
as it connects deeply with my upbringing and 
my mother's deep reverence for her rosary. 
It is the first thing she does in the morning
and her "go to" when things trouble her.
It's what her caregivers reach for 
to comfort her distresses.
Her diminishment at 95 
and her oft repeated question
as to why she is still "here" 
is a study in time and timelessness
and how to be tender with our moments,
and each other.
