maria bakte me steeds "kloojspeeties", de lekkerste deeg-bom ever.

The World Echoed Last Night
I sat with my youngest in a steamy bathroom in the dark of night as she barked like a seal. The honey/whiskey concoction was missing, but I had my lap to offer all the same.
Then I blew my nose. Squeeze right-blow, squeeze left-blow, squeeze both-blow, blow, blow. And the sound of my mother echoed all around.

Timeless Memories
Crafted by my great grandfather,
Each ray of sun reflected a sense of time, direction and purpose.
Given to my grandmother, the rays of sun reflected her father, his memory and love.
Given to my mother, the rays of sun reflected her mother, her grandfather.
Given to me, the rays reflect past times, and memories, few of which I possess.
Instead it has come full circle, offering me a sense of time, direction, and purpose.
A reminder of when time was savored, sun was sacred, and the rain, essential.
Standing as a pedestal for times, past and present, an icon of destiny.
