Images from yesterday at low tide.A couple of days ago, someone dialed a wrong number and left a voice message on my cell phone not intended for me. It happens from time to time; I’m sure you get them too. This one caught my attention, grabbed at my heart. A long message from a mother for her adult daughter. At once up beat and newsy, and filled with want, with loneliness, with ‘I’m sure you’re busy, but if you have a minute sometime, I’d love to hear from you’.
At church today, during the prayers of the people someone prayed a beautiful, eloquent prayer for her adult daughter in this last month of her pregnancy. Her daughter who, she said, is feeling large and slow. She prayed that her daughter feel a lightness of heart.

How large are our Mother Hearts. What a wonderous capacity they have for love, love and more love. Even when, sadly, it may not be as reciprocated as we'd like. PS Look like the Summer you had been preparing for has arrived! Enjoy!!
Makes me wish I had a better relationship with my own mother....
Such a lovely reflection and something we mothers can really understand...xv
so, so very beautiful, lecia.

your words made me cry.
and i love low tide.
Thank you, friends.
Well, I was just skimming through your blog and your lovely pictures, but when I read this last entry, it moved me to tears. Thank you for that. I miss my (barely) grown daughter (who is away at college) so much some days that I would eat nails to have her in my kitchen, drinking a cup of tea and sharing her adventures with me. Let's say a quick prayer for all the mothers and daughters out there.
Please feel free to take a look at my blog at www.ilovenewmexicoblog.com. I sure wish my photos were as well done as your's. . .I'm really going to have to get a better camera and BE a better photographer.
