 I have been trying for some time to develop a lifestyle
that does not require my presence
Gary Trudeau

When I was a little girl my family moved to Europe

I had to leave my home

 and my swing

and my dog

 And life required that I learn about loss
So I learned about loss

When I was a young woman

I had children

Who needed me for everything
and life  required of me that I learn to love unconditionally
So I learned about love

                                                           Now that I am older
                                                          Life is requiring of me
                                                          that I learn ...simply learn...

So...I will learn
And that is poetiquejustis

Mankind, He has told you what is good and what it is the LORD requires of you: to act justly, to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God
Micah 6:8
