For me the word Mom or Mama (think Spanish) has meant one person, until now. This past mothers day that has really shifted for me. More and more each day its gets clearer how Joy embodies motherhood, how she exudes a nurturing, caring, loving, beings that has no word can convey its powerfulness and beauty. We celebrated mothers day by going to a small breakfast place in Berkeley “The Homemade Cafe”, this was the place where we eat on our first date, and it was just fitting to start the day there. We then took in some time in Napa, enjoying the warm day together, and doing one of the things we both love the most, eating excellent food. I find that each day, my whole perspective, life, being aligns more and more to the future. It is a strange feeling to start seeing with a different set of eyes, how the world is changing focus on a daily basis. Lots of folks have said “Just you wait till you are a parent…” and for the first time i can start to get what they are talking about. Humm, wow, they day that bundle arrives things are really gonna shift! and i can’t wait.
Here is a picture of Joy at the start of our mother’s day.
