In moving, we realize how rich we really are-especially after lugging boxes upon boxes of "stuff"
In moving, I was forced to review my life: A homemade shield as I feigned knighthood as a child Yellowed love letters and a note to a never born child News clippings-noteworthy tales of my parents, my kids and myself Four hand written pages from my dad Explaining the divorce and his undying love for our mom Record albums of my musically determined mother Others� the result of hours of tortuous childhood practices Tassels made from beloved horse�s hair With a child written label telling each ones� name Baby blankets and blessing gowns Cherished tokens of the only unconditional love I have known Photographs upon photographs Proof that a specific moment in time Existed and can now, from memories larder Be brought back to life with a smile or maybe a tear

The reflections of one's own can be followed within your thoughts, memories and reflections can truly show and find the inner emotions and the realities of life....but more so one finds themselves and can touch upon a life filled with joy and sadness...life is a journey and your poem displays this well...

enjoyed....

nice work, Karen...

How so very true, Karen. Although moving is usually such a big hassle, the treasures we eventually find I think far outweigh all the trouble. And may your treasures bring lots of smiles.

Uncovering the past by moving can be a very emotional time...I moved out of my house when I separated from my ex-husband, after living with him for 28 years. I didn't take very much, but when he sold his house this past winter, I had to go retrieve all my stuff...How do you divide photo albums of your children? decide who gets to keep what, and giving those memories away to him just killed me. It was a very eye-opening experience to see my life flash right before my eyes, without dying...somehow it was like seeing a death of sorts. You pick yourself up and you move on and let go of all of your stuff!!!!
Wonderful poem,
It made me reflect a bit..
thank you for sharing..
Peace, Love, and Light,

Amber "V" Moonstone
