Alchemy

There are times when I think of Mothers as modern day alchemists

Shaping, directing, moulding and transforming

Tiny sparks of life into wonderful human beings

Transforming the every day into the truly magickal

The woes and fears into joys and courage

The crumbs and chaos into creativity

The scraps in the fridge into nutritious sustenance

Am I strong enough?

Wise enough?

Will I ever know?
