Sharing Thanksgiving
Inspiration
By Jen Redmond
Thanksgiving is really a season. Sure, on Thanksgiving Day we in the United States gather with family and friends for the traditional turkey feast.

I packed light bulbs and Q-tips®, too many for one household;
I packed paintings and paint with aspirations of using both;
I said goodbye and left no trace;
In the season of renewal, I started over alone.

I offer this poem as a "snapshot" of my grandmother, who wove her fierceness, nurturance and playfulness into a complicated blend of Inspired Mother.
