The rice fields are flooded, the seeds are taken root, the harvest will come months later…. yet today the water stagnates; it is bittersweet. Life in its many moments, rich are the cycles, the seasons, the different stages…
Everything reminds us of my father…and he is no longer here….
Molly jumps the muddy overflow from the nearby rice field. Having little nieces and nephews around in this moment aids healing…they simply live, rejoice and beg us to do the same. Jump!
Yet jumping is not as easy as Molly makes me believe it is…life goes on….with each day moving us further away from my father’s physical being and begs us to find him spiritually.
Jump. My heart is not stagnant, and my tears make everything muddy.
