My niece ~ loving what she sees!
You, yourself, as much as anybody
 in the entire universe, 
deserve your love and affection.  ~ Buddha

I saw
myself
today

As I drove around
suburbia
I saw myself
in the woman
coming out of the bank


and the mall


and the library


I saw myself today
in the woman
walking with her little son
in the park


Then I saw myself
again
in the young woman
wearing business clothes
high heels click-clicking
down the aisles 
on her lunch break
at Target


I saw myself today
The little girl skipping 
out into the school yard
sunshine on her face
back pack and a smile
that
was
me


I saw myself
in her grandmother
arms open wide as she 
greeted her in
the car pick up line
that
was
me
too


I saw myself today
in the college-age baristas
the laughs and banter
behind the counter
at my favorite coffee shop


I saw myself
as well
in the couple
waiting in the
pharmacy at Walgreens 
my husband's aged hand
clasping my own


Everywhere I looked
 today
I recognized myself


now


 the past


the future


And I whispered
a blessing
of love and
affection
to
each one.

Have a wonderful
Memorial Weekend!
I hope to
see you
soon.
