JUNE - UrbanMoms

this is the kind of day that I feel that way

that June way

the weather, the air and the smell remind me of all the other Junes

Junes have a way of being so jammed with memories and perfect moments

that I find myself a bit melancholy

they feel like endings

I don’t like endings

even happy ones

it feels like loss

could life just please slow down-not because it is too fast but because I love it so much

I want to savour it

it is in June I realize how far we come

in a year

and all the things we have built into that (school) year

the triumphs, the disappointments, the frustration, the elation, the exhaustion, the learning, the friendships, the hard work

I love the tempo so shrill and stuffed with everything

and the patterns and the routines

and the newness

did you see what we could do?

I don’t want it to end

my house is a place where so much noise and activity and good things happen

and then it is so silent at times

the noise floods in like a tide and out again as quickly

so many shoes at the door

and then none

I can’t figure out if I have done everything I meant to

I hope I loved it completely

while it was high tide

because it is magnificent
