Mom and I in happier days!
To say that 2018 was a difficult year would be an understatement. When your New Year begins with being abruptly displaced from your home without warning and ends with the loss of a loved one, well words are sorta hard to find.
I spent most of 2018 helping my Mom stay alive. I cannot write much beyond that now- it’s still too new and unreal. I’m still settling into the reality of her being gone and this new year starting without her. I’m still struggling to figure out who I am without her in my life, and what’s next.

“Dear, God, please save me, I’m trying, but I don’t know what to do.” from documentary God Knows Where I Am.
As promised, my second poetic reflection after watching the documentary God Knows Where I Am- about the life of Linda Bishop. The documentary offers much to consider on the subjects of homelessness, mental health care, mental illness and our current healthcare system. I am not strong in these kinds of debates and discussions. But what I do offer is here in this small poem.
You can see the first poem, called What Matters Not HERE.
I have included the trailer for the movie below. Please take a moment and watch it. For more information go to God Knows Where I Am website.

What Matters Not
Whatever happens in life
I am a stone by the river
The water flows regardless
and I am unmoved.
