Care Givers and Takers

It is 2 pm on a hot and humid Sunday in June. I am cleaning walls and floors, cabinets and doors, and laying newly steamed rugs in a new place of one floor living more suitably down-sized from three floor struggling for my disabled son and aging me. My husband for the past twenty four years calls with Happy Father's Day! This, like an anniversary ritual, surprising reminder between us two Dads not sure how we are doing together. But, better than apart. Surprised, I admitted my failure to remember perhaps because, for me, for us? everyday is fathers' day and night of secularized care taking As every mothers' day and night may become sacred care giving As schools of male and female, more precisely male or female, fish fail to remember wet climates breathe water in and out again, care filling and care emptying, care giving and care taking within mundane everyday habitual atmosphere on this living enculturing Earth Which lives healthier as we become more everyday compassionate care givers and takers listening in and speaking out for our present past and future Earth and EarthTribes, Interdependent species Organic holonic bodies Extending multicultural families Humane repopulations at appropriately grateful scale for peaceful nutritional energetic, yet care-full, EarthJustice Sometimes my unlanguaged son sounds like a constipated chicken trying to lay a great egg. Yet he also roars like an anticipating rooster toward the light, raising and praising east and up and out and west, eager for this new caretaking every Earth day.
