The Prompt: Crash

June 23, 2017 By Sara | mumturnedmom 1 Comment

The clamor from the crash
reverberates around,
as fractures appear
in the fabric of self,
and concussion from the impact
cracks with shocking
force, to rip away
all sense of place.
The shattering of reality
brings chaos
crashing down
as time splinters,
while the collision brings together,
even as the explosion
rips apart, all the
pieces left of us.

I love this, really makes you think about the processes we go through when terrible things happen. Hope the weather there is better than Scotland where I’m sitting in a jumper with the heating on (flaming June my eye).

1 week ago by mumturnedmom C Y C L E This boy was flying around the track on his bike, probably cycled a good few miles in the end! Gorgeous afternoon for a bike ride ☀️
2 weeks ago by mumturnedmom P O S T • R A C E Can you see the attempted thumbs up A very tired boy at the end of his first 5k, bless him 365:194
7 days ago by mumturnedmom L A K E My little girl finishes Lego Camp at 12, but her brother doesn't finish until 3. So, we have a few hours to spend, just the two of us. Today we headed up to the play park at Lake Quannapowitt. Beautiful afternoon for it, but quite hot!! We came home for popsicles before heading out to pick up her big brother ☀️
15 hours ago by mumturnedmom T H E • T H R E E These three were very happy to be back together after my eldest's two weeks at camp. We spent a lovely family day at the Springfield Museum, including the fabulous Dr Suess Museum. So pleased to have my three back together again
6 days ago by mumturnedmom P A R K Another day, another park! She tried every single tricycle then almost fell asleep in one of the 'seat' swings We're now home, and she is taking a nap Unheard of, so she must be tired. Lego Camp is clearly taking it out of her
5 days ago by mumturnedmom S L U S H This little one deserved her slush today! After months of trying to persuade her that she could swim, she finally took her floaty off today and swam I'm so proud of her, and even better: she's proud of herself
1 week ago by mumturnedmom A B S E N C E So, yesterday we got a call from Camp with a request from this one to stay another week We agreed, and now won't see him until next Saturday I'm honestly not sure how I should feel about this! On the one hand I'm thrilled he's having such a good time, that he's confident and independent and happy to be on his own. But then I can't help feeling a bit sad that he wasn't desperate to come home Which is ridiculous really, because of the independent/confident/happy thing It doesn't get easier, this parenting…
1 week ago by mumturnedmom P O O L Just back from an afternoon swim to chill out at the end of a busy day The 8yo and 5yo both had Lego Camp today and loved it, and can't wait to go back tomorrow, but they're both a bit tired after our epic canoe trip yesterday I'm exhausted too But, it's all good, loving summer vacation ☀️ Don't want it to end!
1 week ago by mumturnedmom R I V E R We spent six hours canoeing along Ipswich River yesterday. It was an adventure, to say the least, and I can barely move my arms this morning, but it was beautiful. Except when lifting canoe over fallen trees *ahem* Like I said, an adventure!!
2 days ago by mumturnedmom R E T U R N We have our boy back! He's had the BEST time at camp, and has next year planned already. I suspect we've only heard a fraction of the stories so far, but those we have heard have been awesome. It really does sound like the most amazing experience, and I'm thrilled that he loved it so much. The goodbyes were emotional, and he's exhausted, but this smile says it all. Oh, and top knots are now a thing!
