I don't know how to put attachments in comments but check out my next blog post, Anna.

All those stars and you cover that part of the text up with a photo!

(It did make for a very nice shot, though. )

Pollination, seed dispersal.

I am glad you point out these funny little things.

Very evocative poem! (Although the scientist in me can't refrain from adding --- that's seed dispersal, not pollination.)

Hey, my message was meant to be simply "we love you!"

I'll happily look at your tomatoes.

Good. But your two cents went a long way. (The book had a clear message and I took it to my heart.) Also, if you want to manage the weeds in L's garden or the tomatoes I need to re-pot I happily accept suggestions - or pots of dirt.

But the best part of my plan for all family members is I won't call you before noon.

I try not to micromanage your future life too much, but that was the plan I was rooting for. It just sounds like too good of an opportunity to pass up!

Oh, thanks Mom. It is pronounced Mau-gee, and I would love to tell you more about it soon!

I do love the actual feel of water, really of waves, and the "in's"! The wildness part that you touch on is a part I have not realized about water, but does seem a part. Wonderful to find a name the same--how do you know it is pronounced like yours? (I wonder if it is at all related to "Magi"--the Wise Man" What about "Wise Woman"? I guess it is related to Magic...)

I think there is so much to Water...the drinking part, the H2O elements, the life-affirming quality...Mostly I do so love your up-and-down rhythms and images!--mom look up in Genesis! Water is actually holy. And makes us whole...

I think you just want me to have positive thoughts so I don't call you crying.

Nah. Just kidding.

I actually was kind of thinking of you when I wrote it, thinking, I should tell Anna I am ok today. Then I had this "big catharsis" that all of these little thoughts about other people do get carried to the people as positive energy. The power of positive thought.
