Catfish Tea

A Real Person.

Today is Mothers Day for the world. For me it’s the day where I find my body and spirit at their most still.

My Mother passed away 13 years ago on May 6th. The first Mothers Day after I started dating my husband Mike he thoughtfully asked what I wanted to do on Mothers Day and I replied, “I want to be quiet”. I wasn't exactly forthcoming with how utterly heartbroken I was by the thought of the world enjoying their Mothers Day without me. He understood. I'm thankful for that. It was grief. Alive real consuming grief. But I felt too weak too tired to explain it.

Today I am quietly writing,

I am quietly working,

I am quietly contemplating the precise ingredients to combine to create the intangibly delicious and satisfying tea blend I’m imagining will make everything better.

This is a real clip of the quiet I am experiencing at my home today.

Catfish!

The Mothers Day tea blend is impressive enough to wow a catfish.
