somewhere between Epiphany and MLK
and discuss various tenets of religion with my oldest son
~ essentially the ones I no longer believe ~
our conversation drifts to the birth of his daughter
and the death of my dad
He and his wife learned they were pregnant on the same day my dad died
the circle of life
my son came to visit me on this MLK weekend
he came to build me a raised bed
a place for me to sow seeds
new life
he brought his beautiful almost three year old daughter
she has my dad’s eyes, his round face, his gentle spirit,
his sense of humor
but my dad came to visit too
yes, he died in 2016
but he came to me in a dream over this MLK weekend
it was fleeting
but his face was healthy, his eyes sparkled,
his smile – sweet and tender
hmmm…
maybe I do believe in resurrection after all
and certainly… the miracle of every birth
