Mother’s Day
Unlike a mother’s work, does Mother’s Day
have a beginning and an end? Does it
start at midnight the second Sunday of May?
Or maybe at first light
when young feet and hands
jiggle a tray of toast and tea,
a surprise, to her.
Does it end then? Or after
the restaurant supper and scheduled
visit?
Once, maybe. When I was younger
and hadn’t thought
much
of my beginning
or my end.
But now, now it starts fresh every day.
Now Mother’s Day has no schedule.
Though, even now, it seems, my
hands and feet still want
to jiggle and splash
the toast with tea.

does yoga start at a certain time? the beginning of class? when awareness kicks in?
or has yoga been there waiting for us?
i’m not sure truthfully…
but, like mother’s day, i believe, it truly has no schedule, no beginning, and no end…
namaste – con dios – god be with you
