sometimes a mother will
fall back in step watching

thinking they know 
the destination of a journey
already mapped for them

  17. Mothers being mothers will always give way to their children's curiosity in life! They are expected to make mistakes along the way. It is ok as a learning process as long as the mistake is not material!

  18. Here we have a no travel advisory as numbers are a concern, a couple of provinces have lockdowns for high numbers. But we have some stubbornly non compliant people. Stay safe, Gillena.
