breeze is blowing; neighbours calling "morning" from open windows; maya and samara playing moral, a ball and hopscotch game combined; theo is cutting grass for the cow and i am here spilling words onto my blog so that i continue to make this a regualr writing practice. i jot down quickly two surreal images from yesterday reflecting maya's two worlds: maya sitting crossed legged on the floor reading outloud the back of Snow Buddies, a dvd she received from Grandma for christmas. She is asking me if we can go online to purchase free movie offer, freaky friday. Meanwhile theo is calling her, "hurry up and put on your boots and lets go cut vine for the goats!" maya jumps up and runs for the machete at the back door and hands it to her dad. Second image last night maya creating mosaics of walt disney fairies and complaining to dad of the baby cockroaches zoomimg by. theo hands her my running shoe and instructs her to squash them as they pass. i glance around the corner and see maya poised with her weapon in the air and at the same time bent over her sparkly fairy mosaic.
The two of them together radiate two worlds belonging to One!!!!!

ps: picture is at Pomquet Beach Nova Scotia this summer. m.
