Curves cup me and protect me from falling off the edge and into the beauty of life sometimes.
Sometimes we all feel spent from the rush of the life we have created for ourselves. I am looking at you mom and you are tired. You need a bath and a foot-rub. You need to sit back and enjoy the smell of wet earth and find peace and tranquility again. I dreamt about you last night running up and down five flights of stairs to orchestrate dad's 60th birthday party. You were exhausted and aggravated and blew up at me. I didn't take it personally. I searched for a way to help without you noticing, but fell down the rabbit hole instead. The crowds made me run and hide. Please forgive me, but I am sensitive and know my limits. I wandered up into an amazing five-story home. Each level unfolded the images of the intense beauty of the water and pink skies. The distraction was inevitable: I had witnessed a backdrop that was the most magnificent I had ever laid eyes on. The rounded openness of the architecture made the air easier to breathe even admidst the high altitude. I wish I could re-create the image for everyone I know. I wish I could take us all there to forget the stress that envelopes us and makes us forget how truely wonderful life is. We need to share what beauty and happiness we have inside and let it flourish, let it cascade off of balconies and into the sea to swirl around the lovely sea creatures and sunbathers.
My heart feels full and calm. I can help the world, again.

I let you know I had limits last night when you called. Yes, I am feeling overwhelmed with the end of the school year demands and my desire to celebrate your Dad's 60th birthday in style. All will be magical and beautiful and I thank you for your generous offer to help out. Wish I could join you in that perfect dream place. Love you, Mom
