Rolling In Poppies — HERCULANEUM

You may remember me talking last year about the best seat in the house on Mother's Day? Well, obviously, I still feel that way. And I often feel more numb with each passing day that I remain so far away from my Mom.

So, it's Mother's Day here in the States. And as far as I'm concerned, everyday should be "Mother's Day". Or at least one day a week...or every other week...or at least once a month. All of us celebrating our Mothers with an awareness on a regular basis, whether they're still physically with us or not.

And actually, I'm not sure that many of us don't already do that in some way.

But, anyway, whether you're a mom or not, and whether you're fortunate enough to be celebrating with your mom or not, I hope that your mothers are happy and feeling loved today, no matter where they are... I hope that they know how much they're loved, as I love mine.

And I hope that they're as joyful and content as rolling naked in a field of poppies...minus the dirt, bees and ants. But, just basking in a peace and freedom.
